Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

When handling this UltraCMOS™ device, observe

the same precautions that you would use with

other ESD-sensitive devices. Although this device

contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to

ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid

exceeding the rating specified.

Notes: 1. RF pins 3, 8, and 13 must be at 0 VDC. The RF pins do not require DC

blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0 VDC requirement is

met.

2. Pins 16 and 17 are the CMOS controls that set the three operating

states.

3. Connect pin 18 to GND to enable the on-chip negative voltage

3 V supply generator.

4. Customer can add external resistance to ground to change or modify

termination resistance.

Moisture Sensitivity Level

The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the

PE4256 in the 20-lead 4 x 4 mm QFN

package is MSL1.

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause

permanent damage. Operation should be

restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges

table. Operation between operating range

maximum and absolute maximum for extended

periods may reduce reliability.
