Suitability for use — Ampleon products are not designed, authorized or
warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or safety-critical
systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or malfunction of an
BLC9G15XS-400AVT
Product data sheet
Ampleon product can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury,
death or severe property or environmental damage. Ampleon and its
suppliers accept no liability for inclusion and/or use of Ampleon products in
such equipment or applications and therefore such inclusion and/or use is at
the customer’s own risk.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. Ampleon makes no representation
or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the specified use without
further testing or modification.
Customers are responsible for the design and operation of their applications
and products using Ampleon products, and Ampleon accepts no liability for
any assistance with applications or customer product design. It is customer’s
sole responsibility to determine whether the Ampleon product is suitable and
fit for the customer’s applications and products planned, as well as for the

customer’s applications and products using Ampleon 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). Ampleon 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 ratings 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
