(e) Silicon "microcomputer microcircuits" having all of the following characteristics:
(1) Mask programmed by the "manufacturer" for a civil application prior to shipment;
(2) A word size to "speed" ratio of less than or equal to 1.1 bit per microsecond;
(3) A "speed-power dissipation product" of more than or equal to 1.2 microjoule;
(4) Not containing on-the-chip:
(A) A read-only storage (ROM) of more than 4,096 byte;
Note:
This does not include the storage space needed for the "microprogramme".
(B) A random access storage (RAM) of more than 128 byte;
(C) A programmable read-only storage (PROM);
(D) Multiplication capabilities;
(E) General purpose operating systems (e.g. CP/M); or
(F) High order languages (e.g. Tiny Basic);
(5) An operand (data) word length of less than or equal to 8 bit;
(6) Not capable of using storage off-the-chip for "programme" storage; and
(7) Not rated for operation at an ambient temperature below 253K (-20°C) or above 348K (75°C);
Note:
Bit-slice "microcomputer microcircuits" are not released by this sub-item.
(f) Silicon "monolithic integrated circuits", "microcomputer microcircuits", "microprocessor microcircuits", "multichip integrated circuits"/"film type integrated circuits", "hybrid integrated circuits", or "optical integrated circuits", having both of the following characteristics:
(1) No "user-accessible microprogrammability"; and
(2) Designed or programmed by the "manufacturer" for any of the following applications, only:
(A) Car electronics (e.g. entertainment, instrumentation, safety, comfort, operations, or pollution);
(B) Home electronics, (e.g. audio and video equipment, appliances, safety, education, comfort, remote controlled toys or amusement);
(C) Timekeeping applications (e.g. watches or clocks);
(D) Personal communications up to 150 MHz, including amateur radio communication and intercom;
(E) Unembargoed cameras including cine cameras but excluding imaging microcircuits; or
(F) Medical electronic prostheses (e.g. cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids);
Note:
The temperature limits specified in (d) (2) (B) above do not apply to sub-section (A) or (F).
(g) "Monolithic integrated circuits" or "hybrid integrated circuits", having all of the following characteristics:
(1) Not capable of addressing off-the-chip storage;
(2) No "user-accessible microprogrammability"; and
