Absolute Maximum Ratings  
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-  
ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-  
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The  
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Values are at T

FAIRCHILD DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE APPLICATION OR USE OF ANY  
PRODUCT OR CIRCUIT DESCRIBED HEREIN; NEITHER DOES IT CONVEY ANY LICENSE UNDER ITS PATENT RIGHTS, NOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.  
THESE SPECIFICATIONS DO NOT EXPAND THE TERMS OF FAIRCHILD’S WORLDWIDE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, SPECIFICALLY THE WARRANTY  
THEREIN, WHICH COVERS THESE PRODUCTS.  
LIFE SUPPORT POLICY  
FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE  
EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.  
As used herein:  
1. Life
 
support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are  
intended for surgical implant into the body or (b) support or sustain  
life, and (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in  
accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be  
reasonably expected to result in a significant injury of the user.  
2. A
 
critical component in any component of a life support, device, or  
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to  
cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its  
safety or effectiveness.  
ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY  
under Sales Support.  
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their  
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed  
applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect oursel
v
e
s and our customers from the  
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild  
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors  
are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild’s quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild’s full range of up-to-date technical  
and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise.  
Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global  
problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
