Although ROHM is continuously working to improve product reliability and quality, semicon-
ductors can break down and malfunction due to various factors.
Therefore, in order to prevent personal injury or fire arising from failure, please take safety 
measures such as complying with the derating characteristics, implementing redundant and 
fire prevention designs, and utilizing backups and fail-safe procedures. ROHM shall have no 
responsibility for any damages arising out of the use of our Poducts beyond the rating specified by 
ROHM.

Examples of application circuits, circuit constants and any other information contained herein are 
provided only to illustrate the standard usage and operations of the Products. The peripheral 
conditions must be taken into account when designing circuits for mass production.

The technical information specified herein is intended only to show the typical functions of and 
examples of application circuits for the Products. ROHM does not grant you, explicitly or implicitly, 
any license to use or exercise intellectual property or other rights held by ROHM or any other 
parties. ROHM shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any dispute arising out of the use of 
such technical information.

below), please contact and consult with a ROHM representative : transportation equipment (i.e. 
cars, ships, trains), primary communication equipment, traffic lights, fire/crime prevention, safety 
equipment, medical systems, servers, solar cells, and power transmission systems.

Do not use our Products in applications requiring extremely high reliability, such as aerospace 
equipment, nuclear power control systems, and submarine repeaters.

ROHM shall have no responsibility for any damages or injury arising  from non-compliance with 
the recommended usage conditions and specifications contained herein.
