*NOTE: While the SCA-3 can be operated at different bias currents, 65 mA is the recommended

bias for lower junction temperature and longer life. This reflects typical operating conditions

which we have found to be an optimal balance between high IP3 and MTTF. In general, MTTF

is improved to more than 100,000 hours when biasing at 65 mA and operating up to 85°C ambient

temperature.
