1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Under no circumstances must the absolute maximum ratings given in Table 1 be violated. Stress
exceeding one or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device.
Caution! ESD sensitive device.
Precaution should be used when handling
the device in order to prevent permanent
damage.

3 General Characteristics
Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Condition/Note
Frequency range 2400 2483.5 MHz There will be spurious signals at n/2·crystal oscillator
frequency (n is an integer number). RF frequencies at
n/2·crystal oscillator frequency should therefore be
avoided (e.g. 2405, 2418, 2431, 2444, 2457, 2470 and
2483 MHz when using a 26 MHz crystal).
