Hello Jacob,

What exactly is 'shelf life' being defined for? The chip in an full system? Just the die in it's own packaging? What sort of environment would it be stored in?

Jacob -

the MSL rating is 2 for these devices - you can look it up here - this essentially means 1 year can elapse at room temp/humidity before needing to "bake" the devices before mounting
