Notes:
• Minimum gain at highest frequency. Full temperature range, except room temperature for Dash-4 models.
• Conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<5:1 required.
Potentially unstable with very high VSWR terminations.
• Thermal resistance Øjc is from hottest junction in the device to the mounting surface of the leads.
• Model number designated by alphanumeric code marking.
• Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. These ratings are not intended for continuous normal operation.
