Note: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions even only for a short moment may affect device reliability. Maximum
ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may cause irreversible damage to the
integrated circuit. Absolute maximum ratings typically differ heavily from recommended operation conditions
