Definitions
•Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty (temperature
+20 to +30 °C, unless otherwise noted.)
•Ty p i c a l describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product
warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with a 95% confidence
level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include measurement
uncertainty.
•Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is useful in the
application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.
•Characteristic Performance describes performance parameter that the product is expected to meet
before it leaves the factory, but is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A
characteristic includes the same guard bands as a specification.
