ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent
damage. Functional operation is not implied under these conditions.
Exposure to absolute ratings for extended periods of time may
adversely affect reliability.
Table 3: Operating Ranges
The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is guaranteed
only over the conditions defined in the electrical specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
To ensure proper performance, refer to all related
Application Notes on the ANADIGICS web site:
http://www.anadigics.com
Shutdown Mode
The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown
mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating
Ranges table) to both the VREF and VMODE voltages.
Table 5: Bias Control
Bias Modes
The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low
Bias mode or a High Bias mode by applying the
appropriate logic level (see Operating Ranges table)
to the VMODE voltage. The Bias Control table lists the
recommended modes of operation for various
applications.
