1. All voltages are relative to GND.
2. VOPT is grounded for most applications. To improve the intermodulation performance and the 1 dB compression point of GaAs control
devices at low frequencies, VOPT can be increased to between 1.0 and 2.0V. The nonlinear characteristics of the GaAs control devices
will approximate performance at 500 MHz. It should be noted that the control current that is on the GaAs
MMICs will increase when positive controls are applied.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Silicon Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when ha ndling these devices.
