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 150C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. 7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + JC * (V * I). Typical thermal resistance (JC) = 5.75C/W 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 class 1A devices. 2 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
