4. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports when using positive voltage control.
5. 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.

6. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF
ports. 1000 pF capacitors used for positive control voltage.
For higher frequency operation, smaller value DC blocking
capacitors can be substituted.
7. If negative control is used, DC blocking capacitors are not
required on RF ports.
Qualification

Process Flow –2.
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 damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these devices.
