Latch-Up: Unlike conventional CMOS digital attenuators, Honeywell's HRF-AT4510 is immune to latch-up. . ESD Protection: Although the HRF-AT4510 contains ESD protection circuitry on all digital inputs, conventional precautions should be taken to ensure that the Absolute Maximum Ratings are not exceeded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Web Site: Email: www.mysoiservices.com mysoiservices@honeywell.com 2002 4510W Published February 2003 Page 2 Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center 12001 State Highway 55 Plymouth, Minnesota 55441-4799 1-800-323-8295 HRF-AT4510 Package Outline Drawing 4.0 mm 4.0 mm TM This package conforms to the LPCC 4 X 4 mm 24 lead body dimensions.
