Eudyna
recommends the following conditions for the reliable operation of GaAs FETs:
1. The drain-source operating voltage (VDS) should not exceed +10 volts.
2. The forward and reverse gate currents should not exceed 8.8 and -0.5 mA respectively with
gate resistance of 500Ω.
3. The operating channel temperature (Tch) should not exceed 145°C.
