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.

For positive voltage control, external DC blocking

capacitors are required on all RF ports (39 pF capacitors

are recommended).

4.

If negative control is used, DC blocking capacitors are not

required on RF ports. This switch is not meant to pass or

switch a DC voltage.
