4. Unused logic inputs must be tied to either GND or VCC.
5. All voltages are relative to GND.
6. VOPT is grounded in most cases when FETs are driven. To improve the intermodulation performance and the 1 dB compression point of
GaAs control devices at low frequencies, VOPT can be increased to between 1.0 and 2.0V. The nonlinear characteristics of the GaAs
control devices will approximate performance at 500 MHz. It should be noted that the control current that is on the GaAs MMICs will in-
crease when positive controls are applied.
7. When this driver is used to drive PIN diodes, VOPT is often set to +5.0V, with VEE set to -5.0V.
8. 0.01 uF decoupling capacitors are required on the power supply lines.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Silicon 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.
