1. For the MA8334-001 and the MA8334-004

Switches, the Small Signal Insertion Loss and

Isolation measurements are performed at 450

MHz with the “ON” Port Forward Biased @ +

50mA, +1V and the “OFF” Port Reverse Biased

at 0V, 0 mA. For ( 100 W ) High Signal condi-

tions, the “ON “ Port is Forward Biased @ +

50mA, +1V and the “OFF” Port is Reverse Bi-

ased at –100V, 0 mA.

2. Maximum Small Signal VSWR for all Switches

is 1.35:1 with Source and Load VSWR

<

1.05 :1 in 50 Ω System at specified 450 MHz

frequency.

3. Nominal Thermal Resistance for Each Diode is

20 °C/W.
