Caution Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can
damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may
easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can
discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed at all times.

ESD
• C1 are DC blocking capacitors external to the device.
The value may be tailored to provide specific electrical responses.
• The RF ground connections should be kept as short as possible and connected to directly to a good RF ground
for best performance.
• L
ESD
provides a means to increase the ESD protection on a specific RF port, typically the port attached to the
antenna.
