fU is the upper frequency limit for each model as shown in the table.

Low frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors.

* Models tested at 2 GHz except GAL-4,5,6,51 at 1 GHz.
** Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
These ratings are not intended for continuous normal operation.
***Reliability predictions and normal operating conditions are applicable
at current specified.
