At 128MHz its value changes from approximately 40nH at 100V to 30nH at 150V. With the 50Ω drain-to-drain load, the duty cycle above 100V must be reduced to insure power dissipation is within the limits of the device. Maximum pulse length should be 100mS or less.

A clamped joint maintains the required mounting pressure while allowing for thermal expansion of both the base and the heat sink. Four 4-40 (M3) screws provide the required mounting force. T = 6 in-lb (0.68 N-m). 1.250 .175 .150 .150 .325 .175 The rated power dissipation is only available when the package mounting surface is at 25°C and the junction temperature is 175°C . The thermal resistance between junctions and case mounting surface is 0.16°C/W. When installed, an additional thermal impedance of 0.15°C/W between the package base and the mounting surface is typical. Insure that the mounting surface is smooth and flat. Thermal joint compound must be used to reduce the effects of small surface irregularities. Use the minimum amount necessary to coat the surface. The heatsink should incorporate a copper heat spreader to obtain best results. 050-4931 B 6-2007 .200 .300 .005 .040 1.500 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL WARNING The white ceramic portion of the device between leads and mounting surface is beryllium oxide, BeO. Beryllium oxide dust is toxic when inhaled. Care must be taken during handling and mounting to avoid damage to this area. These devices must never be thrown away with general industrial or domestic waste.
