7. Renesas Electronics products are classified according to the following three quality grades: “Standard”,
“High Quality”, and “Specific”. The recommended applications for each Renesas Electronics product
depends on the product’s quality grade, as indicated below. You must check the quality grade of each
Renesas Electronics product before using it in a particular application. You may not use any Renesas
Electronics product for any application categorized as “Specific” without the prior written consent of
Renesas Electronics. Further, you may not use any Renesas Electronics product for any application for
which it is not intended without the prior written consent of Renesas Electronics. Renesas Electronics
shall not be in any way liable for any damages or losses incurred by you or third parties arising from the

specified in a Renesas Electronics data sheets or data books, etc.
“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement
equipment; audio and visual equipment; home electronic appliances; machine tools; personal electronic
equipment; and industrial robots.
“High Quality”: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control systems; anti-
disaster systems; anti- crime systems; safety equipment; and medical equipment not specifically
designed for life support.
“Specific”: Aircraft; aerospace equipment; submersible repeaters; nuclear reactor control systems;
medical equipment or systems for life support (e.g. artificial life support devices or systems), surgical
implantations, or healthcare intervention (e.g. excision, etc.), and any other applications or purposes that
pose a direct threat to human life.
8. You should use the Renesas Electronics products described in this document within the range specified
by Renesas Electronics, especially with respect to the maximum rating, operating supply voltage range,
movement power voltage range, heat radiation characteristics, installation and other product
characteristics. Renesas Electronics shall have no liability for malfunctions or damages arising out of the
use of Renesas Electronics products beyond such specified ranges.
9. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of its products,
semiconductor products have specific characteristics such as the occurrence of failure at a certain rate
and malfunctions under certain use conditions. Further, Renesas Electronics products are not subject to
radiation resistance design. Please be sure to implement safety measures to guard them against the
possibility of physical injury, and injury or damage caused by fire in the event of the failure of a Renesas
Electronics product, 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,
please evaluate the safety of the final products or system manufactured by you.
