development.
Preliminary data sheet Qualification This document contains data from the preliminary specification.
Product data sheet Production This document contains the pr oduct specification.
DEFINITIONS
Product specification The information and da ta
provided in a Product data she et shall define the
specification of the product as agre ed between NXP
Semiconductors and its custo m er, unless NXP
Semiconductors and cus to mer have explicitly agreed
otherwise in writing. In no event however, shall an
agreement be valid in which th e NXP Semiconductors

(proper) operat ion of the device at these or any othe r
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 the qual ity and
reliability of the device.
