TEXAS_INSTRUMENT_DP83848YB_revE_MARCH_2015 temperature specification

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83848-EP, DP83848YB

 

I don' understand the following incoherence on page 11 of the specification  :

5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings

maximum Die Temperature 121.5 °C

and

5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

for the extreme version : -10 +125°C

The die temperature (junction temperature)  shall be higher than the maximum operating temperature ?

note : From  DP83848-EP datasheet The Tj temperature Is 150°C max
