testing for the Application in order to avoid a default of the Application and t he
product. Nexperia does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanent ly and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — Nexperia
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
sale, as published at http://www.nexperia.com/profile/terms, unless otherwise
agreed in a valid written individual agreement. In case an individual
