5. All External circuitry parts are readily available, low cost

surface mount components (.060 in. x .030 in. or .080 in.

x .050 in.)

6. Pin 2 allows use of an external resistor to ground for

optional, higher current. For 20 mA operation, no resistor is

used.

For IDD ~ 40 mA, R2 = 43 ohms;

IDD ~ 60 mA, R2 = 15 ohms;

IDD ~ 80 mA, R2 = 10 ohms.

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.
