Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These devices are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should
be used when handling these Class 2 devices.
5. Ct (Total Capacitance) = CJ (Junction Capacitance) + Cp (Parasitic Package Capacitance).
6. Rs and Rp are measured on an HP4291A Impedance Analyzer.
7. De-rate power dissipation linearly by -22.2 mW/ºC to 0 W @ +175ºC: Pd (T) = Pd (+25ºC) - ∆P = Pd (+25º) - (22.2 mV/ºC) (∆T).
8. PD = ∆Tj / Θ or PD=(IF + IRF) 2 (Rs), where IF is the forward bias DC current and IRF is the forward bias RMS RF current.
