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
devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * (V * I)
Typical CW thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 7.7°C/W

Typical Performance Curves
Power Dissipation8 vs. Case Temperature9,10
8. Average dissipated power: PDISS = PDC + PIN - POUT (all powers
are average in Watts)
9. Average power is integrated over pulse period, for short pulses
(not exceeding pulse width of 100 µs), average power can be
approximated as PAVERAGE = PPEAK*D, where D is duty cycle.
10.For pulses wider than 100 µs self heating during pulse reduces
allowable average dissipated power.
Drain Current vs. Input Power @ T= +25°C, F =5.6 GHz
Drain Current vs. Input Power @ T=+25°C, VD = 9 V
