G 89

[Subsidiary]

(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
