What is the difference between absolute maximum ratings and operating conditions?

Absolute maximum ratings and operating condition specifications have different meanings.

Absolute maximum ratings:
    This is the rated value that must not be exceeded even for a moment in order to maintain life and reliability.
Operating condition:
    This is a regulation to guarantee normal operation, and it is necessary to strictly observe this condition during use.

If even one of the operating conditions is exceeded, the operation of the IC cannot be guaranteed. Either take measures to keep the rating within the range, or select another IC again.
