Notes:
The value of L1 must be adjusted as the supply voltage is
changed to maintain resonance in the output circuit. At
128MHz its value changes from approximately 40nH at
100V to 30nH at 150V.
With the 50Ω drain-to-drain load, the duty cycle above
100V must be reduced to insure power dissipation is
within the limits of the device. Maximum pulse length
should be 100mS or less. See transient thermal
impedance, figure 5.

The rated power dissipation is only available when the package
mounting surface is at 25°C and the junction temperature is 175°C.
The thermal resistance between junctions and case mounting sur-
face is 0.16°C/W. When installed, an additional thermal impedance
of 0.15°C/W between the package base and the mounting surface
is typical. Insure that the mounting surface is smooth and flat.
Thermal joint compound must be used to reduce the effects of
small surface irregularities. Use the minimum amount necessary to
coat the surface. The heatsink should incorporate a copper heat
spreader to obtain best results.
The package design clamps the ceramic base to the heatsink. A
clamped joint maintains the required mounting pressure while al-
lowing for thermal expansion of both the base and the heat sink.
Four 4-40 (M3) screws provide the required mounting force. T =
2.5 - 3.5

- 0.40

The white ceramic portion of the device between leads
and mounting surface is beryllium oxide, BeO. Beryllium
oxide dust is toxic when inhaled. Care must be taken dur-
ing handling and mounting to avoid damage to this area.
These devices must never be thrown away with general
industrial or domestic waste.
