Storage Temperature 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 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 should be AC-coupled. No external DC bias should be applied. 2. Pin 9 should be AC-grounded. No external DC bias should be applied.
