RFMD Green: RoHS status based on EU

Directive 2011/65/EU (at time of this

document revision), halogen free per IEC

61249-2-21, < 1000ppm each of

antimony trioxide in polymeric materials

and red phosphorus as a flame retardant,

and <2% antimony in solder.

Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute

Maximum Rating conditions may cause permanent

damage to the device. Extended application of Absolute

Maximum Rating conditions to the device may reduce

device reliability. Specified typical performance or

functional operation of the device under Absolute

Maximum Rating conditions is not implied.
