Bipolar ac voltage is the most stringent environment. A 50 year
operating lifetime under the bipolar ac condition determines
the Analog Devices recommended maximum working voltage.
In the case of unipolar ac or dc voltage, the stress on the insulation
is significantly lower. This allows operation at higher working
voltages while still achieving a 50 year service life. The working
voltages listed in Table 5 can be applied while maintaining the
50 year minimum lifetime, provided the voltage conforms to either
the unipolar ac or dc voltage cases. Any cross insulation voltage
waveform that does not conform to Figure 30 or Figure 31 should
be treated as a bipolar ac waveform, and its peak voltage should
be limited to the 50-year lifetime voltage value listed in Table 5.

NOTES
1. THE VOLTAGE IS SHOWN AS SINUSODIAL FOR ILLUSTRATION
PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS MEANT TO REPRESENT ANY VOLTAGE
WAVEFORM VARYING BETWEEN 0 AND SOME LIMITING VALUE.
THE LIMITING VALUE CAN BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, BUT THE
VOLTAGE CANNOT CROSS 0V.
