Absolute Maximum Ratings

Exposure to stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to the Absolute Maximum Ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only and do not imply functional operation of the device under any conditions beyond those listed in Recommended Operating Conditions.
