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 dam-

aged by static electricity. Proper ESD control tech-

niques should be used when handling these de-

vices.
