The product status of the device(s) described in this data sheet may have changed since this data sheet was published. The latest information is available on the Internet at URL http://www.semiconductors.philips.com. 3. For data sheets describing multiple type numbers, the highest-level product status determines the data sheet status. ## **DEFINITIONS** **Short-form specification**  The data in a short-form specification is extracted from a full data sheet with the same type number and title. For detailed information see the relevant data sheet or data handbook. **Limiting values definition**  Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134). 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**  Applications that are described herein for any of these products are for illustrative purposes only. Philips Semiconductors make no representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the specified use without further testing or modification. ## **DISCLAIMERS** **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.
