NOTE 1. Sample tested.

*Static-sensitive device. Unused devices must be stored in conductive

material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields.

Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may

cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only

and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions

above those indicated in the operation sections of the specifications is

not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for

extended periods may affect device reliability.
