5. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +175°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Measured with 4 ms pulse period, up to 100°C case
temperature.
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 handling these Class 1C
Human Body devices.

9. Adding an LC network to pin 12 can improve RX
performance between 2.0 and 2.7 GHz but may limit
performance above 3 GHz. For broadband applications
MACOM recommends not using pin 12 and not
connecting it to any metal trace.
