Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not nor-
mal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are ex-
ceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reli-
ability may be af fected.
