Operation of this device above anyone of these parameters may cause permanent
damage.
For higher compression the level limit can be increased by decreasing the voltage
Vd using the rate 0.5V/dBcp

Without RF input power
Equivalent Thermal Resistance to Backside: 5.6°C/W for backside temp. of 80°C.
[ Junction Temperature comes from: Tj = Tbackside + ETRB x (Dissipated Power)
Where ETRB stands for Equivalent Thermal Resistance to Backside. ]
