Maximum Allowed Overshoot and Undershoot Voltage
During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage listed in Table 2 and
undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than
20 ns.
The maximum allowed overshoot duration is specified as a percentage of high time
over the lifetime of the device. A DC signal is equivalent to 100% duty cycle.
For example, a signal that overshoots to 4.00 V can only be at 4.00 V for ~15% over the
lifetime of the device; for a device lifetime of 10 years, this amounts to 1.5 years.
Table 2 lists the maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and the duration of the
overshoot voltage as a percentage of device lifetime.
