9.1 General Specifications

9.1.1 Electro Static Discharge (ESD)

This device is a high performance integrated circuit and is
ESD sensitive. Handling and assembly of this device
should be performed at ESD free workstations. Table 9-1
lists the ESD ratings of the SC2200.

9.1.2 Power/Ground Connections and

Decoupling

When testing and operating the SC2200, use standard
high frequency techniques to reduce parasitic effects. For
example:
Filter the DC power leads with low-inductance decou-
pling capacitors.
Use low-impedance wiring.
Utilizing the PWR and GND pins.

9.1.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses beyond those indicated in the Table 9-2 on page
369 may cause permanent damage to the SC2200, reduce
device reliability, and result in premature failure, even when
there is no immediately apparent sign of failure. Prolonged
exposure to conditions at or near the absolute maximum
ratings may also result in reduced device life span and
reduced reliability.
Note: The values in the following table are stress ratings
only. They do not imply that operation under other
conditions is impossible.
