(1) All limits specified at room temperature (TYP) and at temperature extremes (MIN/MAX). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are specified through correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
(2) Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely norm.
(3) These electrical parameters are specified by design, and are not verified by test.
