Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MACOM documentation to confirm packaging type. The MAGX-000035-01500P denotes bulk packaging, while other suffixes indicate reel or sample board configurations. Ensure compatibility with ESD handling procedures required for Class 1B devices. Confirm that the supplier provides traceable datasheets matching the Rev. V4 specification to guarantee accurate electrical parameters and pinout definitions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for wideband pulsed applications requiring high voltage operation within a compact surface-mount footprint. The device offers superior thermal performance compared to flanged modules. Designers must account for the negative gate threshold voltage and implement proper bias sequencing to prevent latch-up. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the specific duty cycle and pulse width intended for the target application.
