1. Operation of this device outside any of these limits may cause
permanent damage.
2. Case Temperature (T
) = +25°C.
3. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting -5 volts to pin 4 (V
GG
),
followed by connection +9 volts to pin 6 (V
). Note sequence.
4. RF ground and thermal interface is the flange (case bottom).
Adequate heat sinking is required.
5. No dc bias voltage appears at the RF ports.
6. The dc resistance at the input port is an open circuit and at the
ouput port is a short circuit.
7. For optimum IP
performance, the V
DD
bypass capacitors should
be placed within 0.5 inches of pin 6.
8. Resistor and capacitors surrounding the amplifier are suggestions
and not included as part of the AM42-0002.
