This is a stress AVDD1 to GND −0.3 V to +2.0 V rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational AVDD2 to GND −0.3 V to +3.9 V section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute DRVDD to GND −0.3 V to +2.0 V maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect GND to GND −0.3 V to +0.3 V device reliability.

PCB is JEDEC multilayer. Thermal performance VREF to GND −0.3 V to for actual applications requires careful inspection of the conditions in the application to determine if they are similar to those assumed in these AVDD1 + 0.3 V calculations.
