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.
