Electrostatic Discharge 

 
The module is not protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) in general. Consequently, it is subject 
to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and 
packaging  procedures  must  be  applied  throughout  the  processing,  handling  and  operation  of  any 
application that incorporates the module. 
 
The following table shows the module’s electrostatic discharge characteristics.
