CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. The collector of each transistor of the CA3127 is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode. The substrate (Terminal 5) must be con-
nected to the most negative point in the external circuit to maintain isolation between transistors and to provide for normal transistor action.
2. θ

NOTE:
3. When used as a zener for reference voltage, the device must not be subjected to more than 0.1mJ of energy from any possible capacitance
or electrostatic discharge in order to prevent degradation of the junction. Maximum operating zener current should be less than 10mA.
