testing for the customer’s applications and pro ducts using NXP

Semiconductors 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). NXP 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 rating s 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 — NXP Semiconductors

products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial

sale, as published at http://www.nxp.com/profile/terms, unless otherwise

agreed in a valid written individua l agreement. In case an individual
