Short data sheet — A short data sheet is an extract from a full data sheet
with the same product type number(s) and tit le. A short data sh eet is intended
for quick reference only and shou ld not b e relied u pon to cont ain det ailed and
full information. For detailed and full information se e 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
full data sheet shall pre va il.
Product specificat io n — The information and data provided in a Product
data sheet shall define the specification of the product as agreed between
Nexperia and its customer, unless Nexperia and
customer have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. In no event however,
shall an agreement be valid in which the Nexperia product is
deemed to off er functions and qualities beyond those described in the
Product data sheet.

changes to information published in this document, including without
limitation specifications and product descriptions, at any time and without
notice. This document supersedes and replaces all informa tion supplied prior
to the publication hereof .
Suitability for use — Nexperia products are not designed,
authorized or warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-crit ical or
safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in app lications where failure or
malfunction of a Nexperia product can reasonably be expected
to result in perso nal injury, death or severe property or environmental
damage. Nexperia and its suppliers accept no liability for
inclusion and/or use of Nexperia products in such equipment or
applications and ther efore such inclu sion and/or use is at the cu stomer’s own
risk.
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 ope ration 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 fo r the planned application and use of
customer’s third party customer(s). Custo mers 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 custo mer(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
