Electrical Specifications at 25°C

provided by the user to limit maximum base-plate temperature to 85°C, in order to ensure

proper performance. For reference, this requires thermal resistance of user’s external

heat sink to be 0.3°C/W max.

1. Small signal input power -50 dBm typ.

2. Two tones, 27 dBm/tone, 1 MHz spacing.

3. Recommended Operating Voltage.

Power Supply should be capable of delivering 4A at start-up.
