NOTES:
Note 1: The RF2046 must be operated at or below 35mA in order to achieve the thermal performance stated above. Operating at 35mA
will ensure the best possible combination of reliability and electrical performance.
Note 2: Because of process variations from part to part, the current resulting from a fixed bias voltage will vary. As a result, caution
should be used in designing fixed voltage bias circuits to ensure the worst case bias current does not exceed 35mA over all intended
operating conditions.
Caution! ESD sensitive device.
