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.

Operating the AM42-0039

The AM42-0039 is static sensitive. Please handle

with care. To operate the device, follow these steps.

4. Apply RF.

5. Power down in reverse sequence. Turn gate

voltage off last.
