Note 1: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
Note 2: When used as a power divider with a 2.0:1 maximum VSWR on all ports.
Note 3: When used as a power combiner with a 2.0:1 maximum VSWR on all ports.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.

Evaluation Board Description
Package and Handling Information
The PD4W18-59LF Evaluation Board is used to test the
performance of the PD4W18-59LF power splitter/combiner. An
assembly drawing for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 9
and the layer detail is provided in Figure 10.
Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to
moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed.
Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur
when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder
assembly.
