IMPORTANT NOTES

 The contents in this document are subject to changes, for improvement and other purposes, without notice.

Make sure that this is the latest revision of the document before use.

 Application and operation examples described in this document are quoted for the sole purpose of reference for

the use of the products herein and Sanken can assume no responsibility for any infringement of industrial

property rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights of Sanken or any third party which may result

from its use. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Sanken, Sanken makes no warranties of any kind, whether

express or implied, as to the products, including product merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose

and special environment, and the information, including its accuracy, usefulness, and reliability, included in this

document.

 Although Sanken undertakes to enhance the quality and reliability of its products, the occurrence of failure and

defect of semiconductor products at a certain rate is inevitable. Users of Sanken products are requested to take,

at their own risk, preventative measures including safety design of the equipment or systems against any

possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device failure or malfunction.

 Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose

electronic equipment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment,

measuring equipment, etc.).

When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required

(transportation equipment and its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm

systems, various safety devices, etc.), and whenever long life expectancy is required even in general purpose

electronic equipment or apparatus, please contact your nearest Sanken sales representative to discuss, prior to

the use of the products herein.

The use of Sanken products without the written consent of Sanken in the applications where extremely high

reliability is required (aerospace equipment, nuclear power control systems, life support systems, etc.) is strictly

prohibited.

 In the case that you use Sanken products or design your products by using Sanken products, the reliability

largely depends on the degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case

that an operation range is set by derating the load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered

for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general, derating factors include electric stresses

such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such as ambient temperature,

humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses,

instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must be taken into consideration.

In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC’s including power devices have large self-heating

value, the degree of derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly.

 When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii)

physically, chemically or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks

that may result from all such uses in advance and proceed therewith at your own responsibility.

 Anti radioactive ray design is not considered for the products listed herein.

 Sanken assumes no responsibility for any troubles, such as dropping products caused during transportation out

of Sanken’s distribution network.
