1. Either or both input voltages must not exceed the magnitude of VCC+ or VCC-.
2. Short-circuits can cause excessive heating. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous short-
circuits on all amplifiers.
3. Rth are typical values.
4. Human body model: 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor between two pins of the device, done for
all couples of pin combinations with other pins floating.
5. Machine model: a 200 pF cap is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly between two
pins of the device with no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5 Ω), done for all couples of pin
combinations with other pins floating.
6. Charged device model: all pins plus package are charged together to the specified voltage and then
discharged directly to the ground.
