SKY12406-360LF Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Minimum Maximum Units RF input power: PIN 3 V 50 MHz +24 dBm 3 V 600 MHz +27 dBm Operating temperature TOP 40 +85 C Storage temperature TSTG 65 +150 C Note: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device. CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times. Typical performance characteristics of the SKY12406-360LF are Electrical and Mechanical Specifications illustrated in Figures 3 through 6. The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY12406-360LF are provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications are provided in The state of the SKY12406-360LF is determined by the logic Table 3. provided in Table 4. Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
