Important notice
Dear Customer,
On 7 February 2017 the former NXP Standard Product business became a new company with the
tradename Nexperia. Nexperia is an industry leading supplier of Discrete, Logic and PowerMOS
semiconductors with its focus on the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer and wearable
application markets
In data sheets and application notes which still contain NXP or Philips Semiconductors references, use
the references to Nexperia, as shown below.
Instead of http://www.nxp.com, http://www.philips.com/ or http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/,
use http://www.nexperia.com
Instead of sales.addresses@www.nxp.com or sales.addresses@www.semiconductors.philips.com, use
salesaddresses@nexperia.com (email)

Short data sheet — A short data sheet is an extract from a full data sheet
with the same product type number(s) and title. A short data sheet is intended
for quick reference only and should not be relied upon to contain detailed and
full information. For detailed and full information see the relevant full data
sheet, which is available on request via the local NXP Semiconductors sales
office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the short data sheet, the
full data sheet shall prevail.
12.3 Disclaimers
General — Information in this document is believed to be accurate and
reliable. However, NXP Semiconductors does not give any representations or

products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes no
representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the
specified use without further testing or modification.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) may cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those given in the
Characteristics sections of this document is not implied. Exposure to limiting
values for extended periods may affect device reliability.
