*NOTICE: Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
