Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent
damage. Functional operation is not implied under these conditions.
Exposure to absolute ratings for extended periods of time may
adversely affect reliability .
Notes:
1. Pins 3 and 6 should be AC-coupled. No external DC bias should be
applied.
2. Pin 7 should be pulled to ground through a resistor or left open-circuited.
No external DC bias should be applied.
