internal review and subject to formal approval, which may result in

modifications or additions. Nexperia does not give any

representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of

information included herein and shall have no liability for the consequences

of use of such information.

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 full data sheet shall prevail.

Product specification — 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 offer functions and qualities beyond those described in the

Product data sheet.

15.3 Disclaimers

Limited warranty and liability — Information in this document is believed

to be accurate and reliable. However, Nexperia does not give

any representations or warranties, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy

or completeness of such information and shall have no liability for the

consequences of use of such information. Nexperia takes no

responsibility for the content in this document if provided by an information

source outside of Nexperia.

In no event shall Nexperia be liable for any indirect, incidental,

punitive, special or consequential damages (including - without limitation -

lost profits, lost savings, business interruption, costs related to the removal

or replacement of any products or rework charges) whether or not such

damages are based on tort (including negligence), warranty, breach of

contract or any other legal theory.

Notwithstanding any damages that customer might incur for any reason

whatsoever, Nexperia’s aggregate and cumulative liability towards

customer for the products described herein shall be limited in accordance

with the Terms and conditions of commercial sale of Nexperia.

Right to make changes — Nexperia reserves the right to

make 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 information 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-critical or

safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or

malfunction of a Nexperia product can reasonably be expected

to result in personal 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 therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own

risk.

Quick reference data — The Quick reference data is an extract of the

product data given in the Limiting values and Characteristics sections of this

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 concluded only the terms and conditions of the respective

agreement shall apply. Nexperia hereby expressly objects to

applying the customer’s general terms and conditions with regard to the

purchase of Nexperia products by customer.

No offer to sell or license — Nothing in this document may be interpreted

or construed as an offer to sell products that is open for acceptance or the

states that this specific Nexperia product is automotive qualified,

the product is not suitable for automotive use. It is neither qualified nor

tested in accordance with automotive testing or application requirements.

Nexperia accepts no liability for inclusion and/or use of non-

automotive qualified products in automotive equipment or applications.

In the event that customer uses the product for design-in and use in

automotive applications to automotive specifications and standards,

customer (a) shall use the product without Nexperia’s warranty

of the product for such automotive applications, use and specifications, and

(b) whenever customer uses the product for automotive applications beyond

Nexperia’s specifications such use shall be solely at customer’s

own risk, and (c) customer fully indemnifies Nexperia for any

liability, damages or failed product claims resulting from customer design and

use of the product for automotive applications beyond Nexperia’s

standard warranty and Nexperia’s product specifications.
