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 ≤ 200°C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. Thermal Characteristics7,8 Parameter Test Conditions Symbol Typ.

The thermal resistance of the mounting configuration must be added to the device ӨJC, for proper TJ calculation during operation. The recommended via pattern, shown on page 6, on a 20 mil thick, 1 oz. plated copper, PCB contributes an additional 6.6°C/W to the typical value. Handling Procedures Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage: Static Sensitivity Gallium Nitride 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. 3 MACOM Technology Solutions Inc.
