(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications.
(3) The absolute maximum specification of the Switch Voltage to Ground applies to DC voltage. An extended negative voltage limit of –10 V applies to a pulse of up to 20 ns, –6 V of 60 ns and –3 V of up to 100 ns.
