Short data sheet — A short data sheet is an extract from a full data sheet
with the same product type number(s) and title. A short data sheet is
intended for quick reference only and should not be relied upon to contain
detailed and full information. For detailed and full information see the relevant
full data sheet, which is available on request via the local Nexperia sales
office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the short data sheet, the

document, and as such is not complete, exhaustive or legally binding.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. Nexperia makes no representation
or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the specified use
without further testing or modification.
Customers are responsible for the design and operation of their applications
and products using Nexperia products, and Nexperia accepts no liability for
any assistance with applications or customer product design. It is customer’s
sole responsibility to determine whether the Nexperia product is suitable
and fit for the customer’s applications and products planned, as well as
for the planned application and use of customer’s third party customer(s).
Customers should provide appropriate design and operating safeguards to
minimize the risks associated with their applications and products.
Nexperia does not accept any liability related to any default, damage, costs
or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the customer’s
applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary testing for the
customer’s applications and products using Nexperia products in order to
avoid a default of the applications and the products or of the application or
use by customer’s third party customer(s). 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 permanently 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 agreement is
