Stresses above those listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation at condi- tions other than the operating conditions specified is not implied. Only one Absolute Maximum Rating should be applied at any one time. Based on long-term current density limitation. Mounted on an FR4 board. Derate 6.25 mW/oC above 250C.
Eudyna recommends the following conditions for the reliable operation of GaAs FETs: 1. The drain-source operating voltage (VDS) should not exceed 12 volts. 2. The forward and reverse gate currents should not exceed 176 and -51.8 mA respectively with gate resistance of 10Q. 3. The operating channel temperature (Tch) should not exceed 1450C.
