STM32WBA52KE Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses above the absolute maximum ratings listed in Table 27 , Table 28 , and Table 29 can cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these conditions is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect device reliability. Device mission profile (application conditions) is compliant with JEDEC JESD47 Qualification Standard, extended mission profiles are available on demand.
