AbSoLUTE MAxiMUM RATingS

These are stress ratings only and functional opera-

tion of the device at these ratings or any other above

those indicated in the operation sections of the speci-

fications below are not implied. Exposure to absolute

maximum ratings conditions for extended periods of

time may affect reliability.
