Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 - no special handling
required.
Operation of this device beyond any one of these limits may
cause permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation the
device voltage and current must not exceed the maximum oper-
ating values specified in the table on page one.
Caution: ESD Sensitive
Appropriate precaution in handling, packaging
and testing devices must be observed.
