7. Renesas Electronics products are classified acco rding to the following three quality grades: “Standard”, “High Quality”, and
“Specific”. The recommended 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

expressly specified in a Renesas Electronics data sheets or data books, et c.
“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual
equipment; home electro nic app liances; machine tool s; p ersonal electron ic equipment; and indu strial 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 equ i pment; submersible repeaters; nu clear reactor control systems; medical equipment or
systems for life support (e.g. artificial life support devices or systems), surgical implantations, or healthcare
interven tion (e.g. excision, et c.), and any oth er applications or purposes that pose a direct th reat to human life.
8. You should use the Renesas Electronics products described in this document within the range specified by Renesas Electronics,
especially with respect to the maximum rating, operating supply voltage range, movement power voltage range, heat radiation
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 cterist ics such as the o ccurren ce of failure at a certai n rate an d malfunct ion s under certai n u se cond ition s. Further,
Renesas Electronics pr oducts are not subject to radiation resi stance design. Please be sure to implement safety measures to
