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. An external protection circuit using an
inexpensive anti-parallel diode pair can be used to
protect the IC.
Please reference application note AN3028 on
