I've got some Intel 1103A RAM chips from the early 70's and trying to understand the data sheet.

Took a lot of googling but eventually found the Intel data book and after reading through the data sheet a few times I'm not not sure exactly what the voltage requirements are to power these chips.

I've read through many datasheets but this one has me stumped.

Max Ratings:
All I/O voltages with respect to the most positive supply voltage, Vbb is -25V to 0.3V
Supply Voltages Vdd and Vss with respect to Vbb is -25V to 0.3V

Am I missing some in the datasheet, or is it just poorly documented. What should Vss, Vbb, Vdd be? :-//

I've tried to find a schematic that uses these chips and from there I can see what voltages it's hooked up to but coming up empty handed.

Those max ratings are "smoke" ratings that will damage the device if exceeded.
Not recommended operating conditions.

The DC and AC characteristics both give the standard operating conditions for supply voltages at the top.
