Absolute Maximum Ratings

Absolute maximum rating for power supply and voltage on digital pins of the module are listed in following table.

Table 9: Absolute Maximum Ratings

ParameterMin.Max.Unit
Power Supply Voltage (VCC)-0.34.5V
Backup Battery Voltage (V_BCKP)-0.34.5V
Input Voltage at Digital Pins-0.33.6V
Input Power at RF_IN (PRF_IN)15dBm
Storage Temperature-45125°C

NOTE

Stressing the device beyond the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage. These are stress ratings only. The product is not protected against over voltage or reversed voltage. If necessary, voltage spikes exceeding the power supply voltage specification, given in table above, must be limited to values within the specified boundaries by using appropriate protection diodes.
