Handling Procedures
The following precautions should be observed 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.
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 ≤ 160°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 93°C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 81°C @ 5 V, 130 mA, PIN = +5 dBm, POUT = 17 dBm
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ =141°C @ 5 V, 130 mA, PIN = +5 dBm, POUT = 17 dBm
