Operation above the maximum values listed here may cause permanent damage. Maximum ratings are absolute ratings;
exceeding only one of these values may cause irreversible damage to the component. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. For reliable continuous operation, the device should be operated
within the operating voltage range (V
DD
) specified above.
