semiconductor product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest
version of relevant information to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied
on is current.
TI warrants performance of its semiconductor products and related software to the specifications
applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard warranty. Testing and other quality
control techniques are utilized to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty.
Specific testing of all parameters of each device is not necessarily performed, except those
mandated by government requirements.
Certain applications using semiconductor products may involve potential risks of death,
personal injury, or severe property or environmental damage (“Critical Applications”).
TI SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, AUTHORIZED, OR

OR SYSTEMS OR OTHER CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.
Inclusion of TI products in such applications is understood to be fully at the risk of the customer.
Use of TI products in such applications requires the written approval of an appropriate TI officer.
Questions concerning potential risk applications should be directed to TI through a local SC
sales office.
In order to minimize risks associated with the customer’s applications, adequate design and
operating safeguards should be provided by the customer to minimize inherent or
procedural hazards.
