Stresses above those listed under the Absolute Maximum Rat-

ings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress

rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any

other conditions above those indicated in the operational sec-

tion of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute

maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect

device reliability.

Applications requiring more than 200 cycles to MIL-STD-883

Method 1010 Condition B (–55°C to +125°C) require underfill

or other means to achieve this requirement.

Drops onto hard surfaces can cause shocks of greater than

2000 g and exceed the absolute maximum rating of the device.

Care should be exercised in handling to avoid damage.

Rate Sensitive Axis

This is a Z-axis rate-sensing device that is also called a yaw-rate

sensing device. It produces a positive going output voltage for

clockwise rotation about the axis normal to the package top, i.e.,

clockwise when looking down at the package lid.
