ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions

is considering for development. Performance is based on target specifications, simulated results,

and/or prototype measurements. Commitment to develop is not guaranteed.

PRELIMINARY: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology

Solutions has under development. Performance is based on engineering tests. Specifications are

typical. Mechanical outline has been fixed. Engineering samples and/or test data may be available.

Commitment to produce in volume is not guaranteed.

(On-wafer measurements)

*Note:

Typical switching speed is measured from 10% to 90% of the detected RF voltage driven by a TTL

compatible driver. Driver output parallel RC network uses a capacitor between 390 pF - 560 pF and

a resistor between 150 - 220 Ohms to achieve 20 ns rise and fall times.
