Note: Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly even
if the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute maximum
ratings and the operating ranges.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
(“Handling Precautions”/“Derating Concept and Methods”) and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc).
(Note 1) 50% duty cycle, 1ms pulse width.

Note: Recommended operating conditions are given as a design guideline to obtain expected performance of the
device. Additionally, each item is an independent guideline respectively. In developing designs using this
product, please confirm specified characteristics shown in this document.
*This item denotes operating ranges, not meaning of recommended operating conditions.
Precaution
Please be careful of the followings.
A ceramic capacitor(0.1μF)should be connected from pin 8 to pin 5 to stabilize the operation of the high gain
linear amplifier. Failure to provide the bypassing may impair the switching property. The total lead length
between capacitor and coupler should not exceed 1cm.
