NOTES:
1. Minimum gain over the full frequency range and temperature range.
2. Low frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors.
3. Frequency at which output power, NF and IP3 are specified: 500 MHz for MAR-1+ and MAR-6+,
1000 MHz for all other models.
4. MAR-6+ models potentially unstable with very high VSWR terminations.
5. Thermal resistance jc is from hottest junction in device to mounting surface of leads.
6. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. These ratings are not intended for continuous
normal operation.
7. Supply voltage must be connected to pin 3 through a bias resistor in order to prevent damage. See "Biasing MMIC Am
plifiers" in minicircuits.com/application.html. Reliability predictions are applicable at specified current & normal
operating conditions.
