ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions

is considering for development. Performance is based on target specifications, simulated results,

and/or prototype measurements. Commitment to develop is not guaranteed.

PRELIMINARY: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology

Solutions has under development. Performance is based on engineering tests. Specifications are

typical. Mechanical outline has been fixed. Engineering samples and/or test data may be available.

Commitment to produce in volume is not guaranteed.

3. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports when using positive voltage control.

4. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 1000 pF for 100 MHz - 1 GHz, 39 pF for 0.5 GHz - 3 GHz.

7. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports

and GND. GND capacitors can be used with positive control

voltage to resonate lead inductance for improved isolation.

8. If negative control is used, DC blocking capacitors and GND

capacitors are not required.
