To our customers,

Old Company Name in Catalogs and Other Documents

On April 1st, 2010, NEC Electronics Corporation merged with Renesas Technology

Corporation, and Renesas Electronics Corporation took over all the business of both

companies. Therefore, although the old company name remains in this document, it is a valid

Renesas Electronics document. We appreciate your understanding.

7. Renesas Electro nics products are classified according to the following three quality grades: “Standard”, “High Quality”, and

“Specific”. The recommend ed applications for each Renesas Electronics product depends on the product’s quality grade, as

indicated below. You must check the quality grade of each Renesas Electronics product before using it in a particular

application. You may not use any Renesas Electronics product for any application categorized as “Specific” without the prior

written consent of Renesas Electronics. Further, you may not use any Renesas Electronics product for any application for

which it is not intended without the prior written consent of Renesas Electronics. Renesas Electronics shall not be in any way

expressl y specified in a Ren esas E lectronics data sheets or data books, etc.

“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual

equipment; home electron ic appliances; machine to ols; personal electro nic equip ment; and indust r ial robots.

“High Quality”: 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”: Aircraft; aerospace equipment; submersible rep eat ers; nuclear reactor control systems; medical equi pment or

systems for life support (e.g. artificial life support devices or systems), surgical implantations, or healthcare

interven tion (e.g. excisi on, etc.), an d any other applications or purposes that pose a direct threat to human life.

8. You should use the Renesas Electronics products described in this document within the range specified by Renesas Electronics,

characteristics, installation and other product characteristics. Renesas Electronics shall have no liability for malfunctions or

damages arising out of the use of Renesas Electronics products beyond such specified ranges.

9. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of its products, semiconductor products have

specific chara cteristi cs such as the o ccurren ce of failure at a certai n rat e and malfun cti on s under certain u se cond itions. Further,

Renesas Electronics products are not subj ect to radiation resistance design. P lease be sure to implemen t safety measures to

guard them against the possibility of physical injury, and injury or damage caused by fire in the event of the failure of a

Renesas Electronics product, such as safety design for hardware and software including but not limited to redundancy, fire

control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures. Because

the evaluation of microcomputer software alone is very difficult, please evaluate the safety of the final products or system
