8. Channel temperature directly affects device MTTF. Chanel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize
lifetime. Thermal resistance,
Θjc,
is 5.8 °C/W.
9. For saturated performance, it is recommended that the sum
of (2V
DD
+ abs (V
GG
)) < 15 V.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these CDM class 2,
HBM class 1B devices.
