Draft — The document is a draft version only. The content is still under

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.

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

specifications and product descriptions, at any time and without notice. This

document supersedes and replaces all information supplied prior to the

publication hereof.

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

patents or other industrial or intellectual property rights.

Suitability for use in automotive applications — This Nexperia product

has been qualified for use in automotive applications. Unless otherwise

agreed in writing, the product is 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 an 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
