CDC3RL02: The specification of Master clock input (MCLK_IN)

Part Number: CDC3RL02

I've downloaded the CDC3RL02 datasheet rev Aug 2018, the datasheet still showing the MCLK  absolute maximum rating at -0.3V minimum. 

  • The Abs Max Rating and Recommended Operating Conditions are not contradictory.

    Please refer to Note (1) per the datasheet for the difference between Absolute Maximum Rating and Recommended Operating Conditions.

    "(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
    only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
    Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability."
