NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property
rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising from use of
such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other

While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or property
arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in
its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
“Standard”, “Special”, and “Specific”. The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a
customer designated “quality assurance program” for a specific application. The recommended applications of
a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device
before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
Special: 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: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support
systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is “Standard” unless otherwise specified in NEC’s Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade, they
should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
