6. For positive control voltage, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.

8. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 100 pF for 100 - 500 MHz, 39 pF for 2.45 GHz.

12. For use at low voltage, M/A-COM recommends connecting

pin 2 to a voltage equal to the most positive control voltage.

13. Negative control voltage may be used. The ‘1’ in the table

would be the most positive (0 V) and the ‘0’ would be the

most negative (-3 V for example).
