Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 6. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 7. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. 8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + jc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN)) Typical thermal resistance (jc) = 39 C/W. a) For TC = 25C, TJ = 69 C @ 5 V, 225 mA b) For TC = 85C, TJ = 129 C @ 5 V, 225 mA Handling Procedures Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage: Static Sensitivity Gallium Arsenide 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 devices. 2 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
