*1:
When there is a temperature dierence between a product and the surrounding area in high humidity environment, dew condensation
may occur on the product surface. Dew condensation on the product may cause deterioration in characteristics and reliability.
*2: Reow temperature, JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL 2a, see P.9
Note:
Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the product
within the absolute maximum ratings.
