(1)

Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply

functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.

If used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully

functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime.

(2)

All voltages are with respect to network GND.
