parties by or arising from the use of NEC semiconductor products listed in this document or any other liability
arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC or others. Descriptions of circuits, software and other
related information in this document are provided for illustrative purposes in semiconductor product
operation and application examples. The incorporation of these circuits, software and information in the
design of customer's equipment shall be done under the full responsibility of customer. NEC assumes no
responsibility for any losses incurred by customers or third parties arising from the use of these circuits,
software and information. While NEC endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC
semiconductor products, customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot
be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising
from defects in NEC semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their
design, such as redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features. NEC semiconductor products are
classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality
grade applies only to semiconductor products developed based on a customer-designated "quality
assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of a semiconductor product
depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
semiconductor product before using it in a particular application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots.
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support).
"Specific": Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in
NEC's data sheets or data books, etc.
If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not intended by NEC, they must contact
an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness to support a given application.
Notes: (1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation and also includes its majority-owned
subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by
or for NEC (as defined above).
