11 Electrical Characteristics<br />

Electrical Characteristics<br />

This chapter contains the (G)MCH absolute maximum electrical ratings, power dissipation values,<br />

and DC characteristics.<br />

11.1 Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings<br />

Table 11-1 specifies the (G)MCH’s absolute maximum and minimum ratings. Within functional<br />

operation limits, functionality and long-term reliability can be expected.<br />

At conditions outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute maximum and<br />

minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be expected. If a device is<br />

returned to conditions within functional operation limits after having been subjected to conditions<br />

outside these limits, but within the absolute maximum and minimum ratings, the device may be<br />

functional, but with its lifetime degraded depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the<br />

functional operation condition limits.<br />

At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor longterm<br />

reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these conditions for any<br />

length of time, then, when returned to conditions within the functional operating condition limits,<br />

it will either not function, or its reliability will be severely degraded.<br />

Although the (G)MCH contains protective circuitry to resist damage from static electric<br />

discharge, precautions should always be taken to avoid high static voltages or electric fields.<br />
