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.

Evaluation Board

The DC connector on the Designer’s Kit PCB

allows convenient DC line access.

This is

accomplished by one or more of the following

methods:

1. A mating female multi-pin connector (Newark

Electronics Stock # 46F-4658, not included).

2. Wires soldered to the necessary pins (not

included).

3. Clip leads (not included).
