5.1 Terminology and guidelines

5.1.1 Definitions

Key terms are defined in the following table:

Term Definition

Rating A minimum or maximum value of a technical characteristic that, if exceeded, may cause

permanent chip failure:

• Operating ratings apply during operation of the chip.

• Handling ratings apply when the chip is not powered.

NOTE:

The likelihood of permanent chip failure increases rapidly as soon as a characteristic

begins to exceed one of its operating ratings.

Operating requirement A specified value or range of values for a technical characteristic that you must guarantee during

operation to avoid incorrect operation and possibly decreasing the useful life of the chip

Operating behavior A specified value or range of values for a technical characteristic that are guaranteed during

operation if you meet the operating requirements and any other specified conditions

Typical value A specified value for a technical characteristic that:

• Lies within the range of values specified by the operating behavior

• Is representative of that characteristic during operation when you meet the typical-value

conditions or other specified conditions

NOTE:

Typical values are provided as design guidelines and are neither tested nor

guaranteed.
