RABBIT SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COM-
PONENTS IN LIFE-SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS UNLESS A SPECIFIC WRITTEN AGREE-
MENT REGARDING SUCH INTENDED USE IS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND
RABBIT SEMICONDUCTOR PRIOR TO USE. Life-support devices or systems are devices or systems
intended for surgical implantation into the body or to sustain life, and whose failure to perform, when prop-
erly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling and user’s manual, can be reason-
ably expected to result in significant injury.
No complex software or hardware system is perfect. Bugs are always present in a system of any size. In
order to prevent danger to life or property, it is the responsibility of the system designer to incorporate
redundant protective mechanisms appropriate to the risk involved.
All Rabbit Semiconductor products are 100 percent functionally tested. Additional testing may include
visual quality control inspections or mechanical defects analyzer inspections. Specifications are based on
characterization of tested sample units rather than testing over temperature and voltage of each unit. Rabbit
Semiconductor products may qualify components to operate within a range of parameters that is different
from the manufacturer’s recommended range. This strategy is believed to be more economical and effective.
Additional testing or burn-in of an individual unit is available by special arrangement.
