Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
Class 1A HBM devices.
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ 150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. Channel temperature should be kept
as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
