15.2 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses beyond those listed in Table 15-1 may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Table 15-1. Absolute Maximum Ratings
Symbol	Description	Min.	Max.	Units
V_DD	Power supply voltage	0	3.8	V
I_VDD	Current into a V_DD pin	-	46⁽¹⁾	mA
I_GND	Current out of a GND pin	-	65⁽¹⁾	mA
V_PIN	Pin voltage with respect to GND and V_DD V_{DD MAX}=3.6V	GND-0.6V	VDD+0.6V	V
V_ESD	ESD robustness	Human Body Model (HBM)[8] Charged Device Model (CDM)[9]	4 450	kV V
P_RF	Input RF level		+10	dB
T_storage	Storage temperature	-50	150	°C
T_LEAD	T=10s (soldering profile compliant with IPC/JEDEC J STD 020B)	-	260	°C

CAUTION: This device is sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Improper handling may lead to permanent performance degradation or malfunctioning.

Handle the device following best practice ESD protection rules: Be aware that the human body can accumulate charges large enough to impair functionality or destroy the device.
