semiconductor products and application examples. You are fully responsible for the incorporation or any other use of the circuits,
software, and information in the design of your product or system. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any losses and
damages incurred by you or third parties arising from the use of these circuits, software, or information.
2. Renesas Electronics hereby expressly disclaims any warranties against and liability for infringement or any other claims involving patents,
copyrights, or other intellectual property rights of third parties, by or arising from the use of Renesas Electronics products or technical
information described in this document, including but not limited to, the product data, drawings, charts, programs, algorithms, and
application examples.
3. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted hereby under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Renesas
Electronics or others.
4. You shall not alter, modify, copy, or reverse engineer any Renesas Electronics product, whether in whole or in part. Renesas Electronics
disclaims any and all liability for any losses or damages incurred by you or third parties arising from such alteration, modification,
copying or reverse engineering.
5. Renesas Electronics products are classified according to the following two quality grades: “Standard” and “High Quality”. The intended
applications for each Renesas Electronics product depends on the product’s quality grade, as indicated below.
“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual equipment;
home electronic appliances; machine tools; personal electronic equipment; industrial robots; etc.
“High Quality”: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control (traffic lights); large-scale communication
equipment; key financial terminal systems; safety control equipment; etc.
Unless expressly designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other
Renesas Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are not intended or authorized for use in products or systems that may pose a
direct threat to human life or bodily injury (artificial life support devices or systems; surgical implantations; etc.), or may cause serious
property damage (space system; undersea repeaters; nuclear power control systems; aircraft control systems; key plant systems; military
equipment; etc.). Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any damages or losses incurred by you or any third parties arising
from the use of any Renesas Electronics product that is inconsistent with any Renesas Electronics data sheet, user’s manual or other
Renesas Electronics document.
6. When using Renesas Electronics products, refer to the latest product information (data sheets, user’s manuals, application notes, “General
Notes for Handling and Using Semiconductor Devices” in the reliability handbook, etc.), and ensure that usage conditions are within the
ranges specified by Renesas Electronics with respect to maximum ratings, operating power supply voltage range, heat dissipation
characteristics, installation, etc. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any malfunctions, failure or accident arising out of
the use of Renesas Electronics products outside of such specified ranges.
7. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of Renesas Electronics products, semiconductor products
have specific characteristics, such as the occurrence of failure at a certain rate and malfunctions under certain use conditions. Unless
designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other Renesas
Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are not subject to radiation resistance design. You are responsible for implementing
safety measures to guard against the possibility of bodily injury, injury or damage caused by fire, and/or danger to the public in the event
of a failure or malfunction of Renesas Electronics products, such as safety design for hardware and software, including but not limited to
redundancy, fire control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures.
Because the evaluation of microcomputer software alone is very difficult and impractical, you are responsible for evaluating the safety of
the final products or systems manufactured by you.
8. Please contact a Renesas Electronics sales office for details as to environmental matters such as the environmental compatibility of each
Renesas Electronics product. You are responsible for carefully and sufficiently investigating applicable laws and regulations that regulate
the inclusion or use of controlled substances, including without limitation, the EU RoHS Directive, and using Renesas Electronics
products in compliance with all these applicable laws and regulations. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for damages or
losses occurring as a result of your noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations.
9. Renesas Electronics products and technologies shall not be used for or incorporated into any products or systems whose manufacture, use,
or sale is prohibited under any applicable domestic or foreign laws or regulations. You shall comply with any applicable export control
laws and regulations promulgated and administered by the governments of any countries asserting jurisdiction over the parties or
transactions.
10. It is the responsibility of the buyer or distributor of Renesas Electronics products, or any other party who distributes, disposes of, or
otherwise sells or transfers the product to a third party, to notify such third party in advance of the contents and conditions set forth in this
document.
11. This document shall not be reprinted, reproduced or duplicated in any form, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of Renesas
Electronics.
12. Please contact a Renesas Electronics sales office if you have any questions regarding the information contained in this document or
Renesas Electronics products.
(Note 1) “Renesas Electronics” as used in this document means Renesas Electronics Corporation and also includes its directly or indirectly
controlled subsidiaries.
(Note 2) “Renesas Electronics product(s)” means any product developed or manufactured by or for Renesas Electronics.
