*Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device
at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operation sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: Input voltages may exceed supply voltages, provided input current is limited to ±400 A. Currents above
this value may result in invalid display readings, but will not destroy the device if limited to ±1 mA.
Dissipation ratings assume device is mounted with all leads soldered to printed circuit board.
