Notes:

1.

The standard case styles are indicated for eac model number. For other available case styles. consult factory

2.

This is an operable output frequency range and does not imply instantaneous bandwidth.

3.

4.

Junction capacitance is measured at a reverse voltage of 6V and a frequency of 1MHz.

5.

Transition time is measured between 20% and 80% points on the voltage recovery trace. Test conditions are +10mA and –10 volts.
