Absolute Maximum Ratings(Note 1)
Note 1: The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the dev ice cannot be guaranteed. T he device sh ould not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommend ed O peratin g Cond itions” t able w ill defin e the co ndition s
for actual device operation.
