Notes:
1.
Permanent device damage may occur if the above Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded. Functional operation
should be restricted to the conditions as specified in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure beyond
recommended operating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2.
The Si4706 device is a high-performance RF integrated circuit with certain pins having an ESD rating of < 2 kV HBM.
Handling and assembly of these devices should only be done at ESD-protected workstations.
