Note 5-1 When 
powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the absolute 
maximum ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies exhibit voltage 
spikes on their outputs when AC power is switched on or off. In addition, voltage transients on the 
AC power line may appear on the DC output. If this possibility exists, it is suggested that a clamp 
circuit be used.
Note 5-2 This rat
ing does not apply to the following pins: XTAL1/CLKIN, XTAL2, RBIAS.
Note 5-3 This rat
ing does not apply to the following pins: RBIAS.

*Stresses exceeding those listed in this section could cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating 
onl
y. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Functional 
operation of the device at any condition exceeding those indicated in Section 5.2, "Operating Conditions**", Section 5.1, 
"Absolute Maximum Ratings*", or any other applicable section of this specification is not implied. Note, device signals 
are 
NOT 5 volt tolerant unless specified otherwise.

**Proper operation of the device is guaranteed only within the ra
nges specified in this section. After the device has com-
pleted power-up, VDDIO and the magnetics power supply must maintain their voltage level with +/-10%. Varying the 
volt
age greater than +/-10% after the device has completed power-up can cause errors in device operation.
Note: Do not
 drive input signals without power supplied to the device.
