Note:
Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly
even if the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute
maximum ratings and the operating ranges.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
(“Handling Precautions”/“Derating Concept and Methods”) and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc).

Notice
Equivalent circuit
The circuits and measurements contained in this document are given only in the context of as examples of
applications for these products.
Moreover, these example application circuits are not intended for mass production, since the high-frequency
characteristics (the AC characteristics) of these devices will be affected by the external components which the
customer uses, by the design of the circuit and by various other conditions.
It is the responsibility of the customer to design external circuits which correctly implement the intended
application, and to check the characteristics of the design.
TOSHIBA assume no responsibility for the integrity of customer circuit designs or applications.
