Notes on Contents

1. Schematics

The schematics may be simplified or some parts of them may be omitted for explanatory purposes.

2. Absolute Maximum Ratings

The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of specified parameter values that must

not be exceeded during operation, even for an instant.

If any of these ratings are exceeded during operation, the electrical characteristics of the device may be

irreparably altered and the reliability and lifetime of the device can no longer be guaranteed.

Moreover, any exceeding of the ratings during operation may cause breakdown, damage and/or degradation

in other equipment. Applications using the device should be designed so that no absolute maximum rating

will ever be exceeded under any operating conditions.

Before using, creating and/or producing designs, refer to and comply with the precautions and conditions

set forth in this document.

3. Recommended Operating Conditions

The values of the conditions are applied within the range of the operating temperature and not guaranteed.

4. AC Characteristics

AC characteristics that mean turn-on and turn-off time are targeted design values and not guaranteed.

5. Application Circuits

The application circuits shown in this document are provided for reference purposes only. Thorough

evaluation is required, especially in the phase of mass production design.

In furnishing these examples of application circuits, Toshiba does not grant the use of any industrial

property rights.

6. Graphics Characteristics

Graphics characteristics are reference ones and not guaranteed.

Handling of the IC

Ensure that the product is installed correctly to prevent breakdown, damage and/or degradation in the product or

equipment.
