Data SheetAD5228ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGSTable 3. Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a ParameterRating stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these VDD to GND −0.3 V, +7 V or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational VA, VB, VW to GND 0 V, VDD section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond PU, PD, PRE Voltage to GND 0 V, VDD the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may Maximum Current affect product reliability.
