output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or
as a driver stage in high power pulsed applications.
This power amplifier is ideally suited for Point-to-
Point Radios and C-band radar applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure
performance compliance.

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
class 1A devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.
7. Junction Temperature (T
