7. All external circuitry parts are readily available, low cost

surface mount components (.060 in. x .030 in. or .080 in.

x .050 in.).

8. Pin 2 allows use of an external resistor to ground for

optional, higher current. For 20 mA operation, no resistor is

used.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by

static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should

be used when handling these devices.
