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 TJ ≤ +135°C will ensure
MTBF > 2.5 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 35° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C, TJ = 57°C @ 5 V, 185 mA
b) For TC = 85°C, TJ = 118°C @ 5 V, 190 mA
ESD Rating: Class 1A
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
devices.
3. VCO can operate over the 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply voltage range.
