ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: During normal operation, a termination resistor must be connected between A and B in order to guarantee overvoltage pro-
tection up to the absolute maximum rating of this device. When not in operation, these devices can withstand fault voltages
up to the maximum rating without a termination resistor and will not be damaged.
Note 2: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
