TriQuint is committed to meeting the European Lead-Free (Pb free) directives/legislation scheduled to take effect in 2006, specifically Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. This directive outlines the restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and is commonly referred to as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).

All TriQuint commercial standard products are compliant with this EU RoHS directive unless otherwise indicated by our exception list. This exception list does not include custom products. Please contact TriQuint for the RoHS compliance status of custom products. All new products in development are designed to be RoHS compliant.

Directive 2002/95/EC RoHS legislation limits the amount of allowable levels of the following substances by % weight at the homogeneous level:

	Lead (Pb)		0.10%		1000 ppm
	Mercury (Hg)		0.10%		1000 ppm
	Cadmium (Cd)		0.01%		100 ppm
	Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI))		0.10%		1000 ppm
	Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)		0.10%		1000 ppm
	Polybrominated Diphenylethers (PBDE)		0.10%		1000 ppm

To facilitate ease of reporting for both suppliers and customers, TriQuint has adopted the IPC-1752 international reporting standard as our corporate material declaration report standard. For more information about IPC- 1752, please refer to the IPC website. IPC-1752 material content declarations will soon be available on our website for all products. Until that time, please contact TriQuint at rohs_info@triquint.com for material content information requests for specific devices.

In addition to being compliant with RoHS, TriQuint participates in the following customer programs:

• Sony Green Partner
• Samsung Eco-partner

Notes:

1. TriQuint does not change part numbers when converting from non-RoHS compliant, i.e. Pb containing, to RoHS compliant. TriQuint does not simultaneously sell both compliant and non-compliant versions of the same part. All remaining stock is purged and the line switched over in its entirety when a part converts. Conversions to RoHS compliant parts are managed via our PCN process.
2. TriQuint's lead finish for RoHS compliant parts is either 100% matte tin or gold. Appropriate tin whisker mitigation controls are in place, including post anneal bake and plating bath monitors.
3. The RoHS compliance of a product is shown visually in several places. A statement or logo will be displayed on the datasheet. The innermost label of shipped product is also marked. For TriQuint, Pb-free is equivalent to RoHS compliant and either logo or verbiage may be used.
4. Please see TriQuint's terms and conditions for our standard warranty and liability limitations.
