2. DC path to ground at RF+ and RF– must be provided to achieve specified performance
3. State change activated on falling edge of SEN following data word
4. Between 50Ω ports in series or shunt configuration using a pulsed RF input with 4620 vs period, 50% duty cycle, measured per 3GPPTS45.005
5. In series configuration the greater RF power or higher RF voltage should be applied to RF+
6. RF
- should be connected to ground
7. DTC operation above SRF is possible
