The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications. Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings. To keep the temperature below 60°C, the user is advised to use a fan to keep a constant airflow over the heat sink.
| Parameter | Min | Nominal | Max | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ambient Temperature | -40 | 25 | 40 | °C |
| Positive DC Voltage (Port 2, Port 4) | 3 | 7 | 7 | V |
| Positive DC Current (Port 2, Port 4) | 100 | 155 | 275 | mA |
| Positive DC Voltage (Port 6) | 12 | 15 | 15 | V |
| Positive DC Current (Port 6) 1 | 200 | 450 | 500 | mA |
[1] To protect the output stage of the module, ensure that Port 6 never pulls more than 500 mA of DC current. Current pull will increase with increased RF input power and with decreased negative bias on Port 7.
