AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at T
A
= 25°C (Note 3). V
CC
= 5V, Z
SOURCE
= Z
LOAD
= 50Ω unless otherwise noted.
Measurements are performed using Test Circuit A, measuring from 50Ω SMA to 50Ω without de-embedding (Note 4).
