ESD Sensitivity:

Although SiGe IC’s have robust ESD sensitivities, preventive ESD measures should be taken

while storing, handling, and assembling. Inputs are more ESD susceptible as they could expose

the base of a BJT or the gate of a MOSFET. For this reason, all the low frequency inputs are

protected with ESD diodes. These inputs have been tested to withstand voltage spikes up to 400 V.

For performance reasons the RF inputs are not protected with ESD diodes and the ESD sensitivity

is higher.
