3.3 Circuit Overstress

The data sheet clearly defines the voltage and temperature operation limits of the devices. The specified life time is shortened if the device is subjected to stresses outside those defined in the data sheet. Extreme stresses will damage the device. Sometimes the damage caused is an easily identifiable failure, but sometimes the failure is subtle. Overvoltage or High Temperature stressing specifically affects SRAM operation.
