For reliable continuous operation, the device voltage and current must not exceed the maximum operating values specified in the table on page one. Bias Conditions should also satisfy the following expression: I D V D <(T J -T L )/R TH, j-l Caution! ESD sensitive device. Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute Maximum Rating conditions may cause permanent damage to the device. Extended application of Absolute Maximum Rating conditions to the device may reduce device reliability. Specified typical performance or functional operation of the device under Absolute Maximum Rating conditions is not implied.
