Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stress in excess of any of the individual Absolute Maximum Ratings can cause immediate catastrophic damage to the
module even if all other parameters are within Recommended Operating Conditions. It should not be assumed that
limiting values of more than one parameter can be applied to the module concurrently. Exposure to any of the Absolute
Maximum Ratings for extended periods can adversely affect reliability.
