There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at or below their typical value as provided in Tables 3, 4, and 5. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device. ESD HANDLING: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industrystandard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times. Table 3.
