Precaution on using ROHM Products
1. If you intend to use our Products in devices requiring extremely high reliability (such as medical equipment (Note 1),
aircraft/spacecraft, nuclear power controllers, etc.) and whose malfunction or failure may cause loss of human life,
bodily injury or serious damage to property (“Specific Applications”), please consult with the ROHM sales
representative in advance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by ROHM in advance, ROHM shall not be in any way
responsible or liable for any damages, expenses or losses incurred b y you or thir d parties arising from the use of any
ROHM’s Products for Specific Applications.

2. ROHM designs and manufactures its Products subject to strict quality control system. However, semiconductor
products can fail or malfunction at a certain rate. Please be sure to implement, at your own responsibilities, adequate
safety measures including but not limited to fail-safe d esign against the physical injur y, damage to any property, which
a failure or malfunction of our Products may cause. T he following are examples of safety measures:
[a] Installation of protection circuits or other protective devices to improve system safety
[b] Installation of redundant circuits to reduce the impact of single or multiple circuit failure
3. Our Products are not designed under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions, as exemplified below.
Accordingly, ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any damages, expens es or losses arising from the
use of any ROHM’s Products under an y special or extraordinary envir onments or conditions. If you intend to use our
Products under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions (as exemplified below), your independent
verification and confirmation of product perform ance, reliability, etc, prior to use, must be necessary:
[a] Use of our Products in any types of liquid, including water, oils, chemicals, and organic solvents
[b] Use of our Products outdoors or in places where the Products are exposed to direct sunlight or dust
[c] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to sea wind or corrosive gases, including Cl2,
H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO2
[d] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to static electricity or electromagnetic waves
[e] Use of our Products in proximity to heat-produci ng comp onents, plastic cords, or other flammable items
[f] Sealing or coating our Products with resin or other coating materials
[g] Use of our Products without cleaning residue of flu x (even if you use no-clean type fluxes, cleaning residue of
flux is recommended); or Washing our Products by using water or water-soluble cleaning agents for cleaning
residue after soldering
[h] Use of the Products in places subject to dew condensation
4. The Products are not subject to radiation- proof design.
5. Please verify and confirm char acteristics of the final or mounted products in using the Products.
6. In particular, if a transient load (a large amount of load applied in a short period of time, such as pulse. is applied,
confirmation of performance characteristics after on-board mounting is strongly recommended. Avoid applying power
exceeding nor mal rated power; exceeding the power rating under steady-state loading condition may negatively affect
product performance and reliability.
7. De-rate Power Dissipation (Pd) depending o n Ambient temper ature (Ta). When us ed in se aled area, confirm the actual
ambient temperature.
8. Confirm that operation temperature is within the specified range described in the product specificati on.
9. ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for failure in duced under deviant condition from what is defined i n
this document.
Precaution for Mounting / Circuit board design
1. When a highly active halogenous (chlor ine, bromine, etc.) flux is used, the residue of flux ma y negatively affect product
performance and reliability.
2. In principle, the reflow soldering method must be used on a surface-mount products, the flow soldering method must
be used on a through hole mount products. If the flow soldering method is preferred on a surface-mount products,
please consult with the ROHM represe ntative in advance.
