DEFINITIONS
Data sheet status
Objective specification
Preliminary specification
This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
This data sheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data may be published later.
Product specification
Limiting values
Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above
one or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only
and operation of the device at these or at any other conditions above those given in the Characteristics sections
of the specification is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Application information
Where application information is given, it is advisory and does not form part of the specification.
LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS
These products are not designed for use in life support appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of
these products can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury. Philips customers using or selling these
products for use in such applications do so at their own risk and agree to fully indemnify Philips for any damages
resulting from such improper use or sale.
