Limiting values  Stress above one or more limiting
values (as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent damage to
the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and
(proper) operation of the device at these or any other
conditions above those given in the Recommended
operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted.
Constant or repeated exposure to limiting values will
permanently and irreversibly affect the quality and
reliability of the device.
