Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause catastrophic damage to the device. Limits apply to each parameter in

isolation, all other parameters having values within the recommended operating conditions. It should not be assumed that limiting values

of more than one parameter can be applied to the product at the same time. Exposure to the absolute maximum ratings for extended

periods can adversely affect device reliability.

5. For data patterns with restricted run lengths, e.g. 8B10B encoded data, smaller value capacitors may provide acceptable results.

Recommended Operating Conditions

Recommended Operating Conditions specify conditions for which the optical and electrical characteristics hold. Optical and electrical

characteristics are not specified for operation beyond the Recommended Operating Conditions, reliability is not implied and damage to

the device may occur for such operation over an extended time period.
