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.

SW-226-PIN and SW-227-PIN

Truth Table

6,7

6. 0 = 0 V to -0.2 V, 1 = -5 V to -8 V

7. For the SW-227-PIN and SW-228-PIN only, when an RF

output is “OFF” it is shorted to case ground.
