customer application /use or t he application/use of customer’s third party
customer(s) (hereinafter both referred to as “Application”). It is customer’s
sole responsibility to check whether the NXP Semiconductors product is
suitable and fit for the Appl ica tion plann ed. Customer has to do all necessary
testing for the Application in order to avoid a default of the Application and t he
product. NXP Semiconductors does not accept any liability in this respect.
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.
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 onl y 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.
