). This formula can be used when the temperature of the exposed
pad is known while the device is soldered down to a PCB. See the

Note 2:
T

is the ambient temperature of the device and PCB.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

Note 5:
Recommended functional range, not production tested. Operation outside this range is possible, but with degraded perfor-
mance of some parameters.
Note 6:
All limits include external component losses of components, PCB, and connectors.
Note 7:
It is advisable not to operate the I and Q inputs continuously above 2.5V
P-P
differential.
Note 8:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 9:
Single-carrier WCDMA peak-to-average ratio of 10.5dB for 0.1% complementary cumulative distribution function.
Note 10: No baseband drive input. Measured with the baseband inputs terminated in 50Ω to GND. At low-output power levels, the
output noise density is equal to the thermal noise floor.
Note 11: It is advisable not to operate the RF input continuously above +17dBm.
