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 dam-

aged by static electricity. Proper ESD control tech-

niques should be used when handling these de-

vices.

5. 0 = Vin Low = 0 V = 0 to -0.2V @ 20 µA maximum.

1 = Vin High = -5V @ 20 µA typical to -8 V @ 200 µA maximum.
