Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.
NJ Semi-Conductors reserves the right to change test conditions, parameter limits and package dimensions without
notice. Information furnished by NJ Semi-Conductors is believed to be both accurate and reliable at the time of going
to press. However, NJ Semi-Conductors assumes no responsibility for any errors or omissions discovered in its use.
NJ Semi-Conductors encourages customers to verify that datasheets are current before placing orders.
