ADL6332 absolute RFIN

Apologies for the delay in responding to you. This question was lost in the system for a few weeks. When you bypass AMP1 the P1dB is “>10 dBm” as you note from the spec table. However there is a foot note that says that this exceeds the absolute maximum rating. This means that the absolute maximum rating for input power comes from somewhere in the input stage and still applies when AMP1 is bypassed.
