7.3 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Table 7-3 lists absolute maximum ratings for the GXm pro-
cessor. Stresses beyond the listed ratings may cause per-
manent damage to the device. Exposure to conditions beyond
these limits may (1) reduce device reliability and (2) result
in premature failure even when there is no immediately
apparent sign of failure. Prolonged exposure to conditions
at or near the absolute maximum ratings may also result
in reduced useful life and reliability. These are stress rat-
ings only and do not imply that operation under any condi-
tions other than those listed under Table 7-4 on page 184
is possible.
