12.0 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Table 401 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings. Within functional
operation limits, functionality and long-term reliability can be expected. At conditions
outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute maximum and
minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long term reliability can be expected. If a
device is returned to conditions within functional operation limits after having been
subjected to conditions outside these limits, but within the absolute maximum and
minimum ratings, the device may be functional, but with its lifetime degraded
depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the functional operation condition
limits.
At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality
nor long term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these
conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the
functional operating condition limits, it will either not function or its reliability will be
severely degraded.
Although the processor contains protective circuitry to resist damage from static
electric discharge, precautions should always be taken to avoid high static voltages or
electric fields.
