Data SheetAD8331/AD8332/AD8334ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Table 2. Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum ParameterRating Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a Voltage stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these Supply Voltage (VPSn, VPSV, VPSL, VPOS) 5.5 V or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational Input Voltage (INHx) VS + 200 mV section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond ENB, ENBL, ENBV, HILO Voltage VS + 200 mV the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may GAIN Voltage 2.5 V affect product reliability.
