FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60747-12-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 47C: Opto-
electronic display and imaging devices, of IEC technical committee 47: Semiconductor devices.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
47C/190/FDIS 47C/198/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
The QC number that appears on the front cover of this publication is the specification number
in the IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ).
Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.
A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC quality assessment system for electronic components is operated in accordance with

the statutes of the IEC and under the authority of the IEC. The object of this system is to define
quality assessment procedures in such a manner that electronic components released by one
participating country as conforming with the requirements of an applicable specification are
equally acceptable in all other participating countries without the need for further testing.
This blank detail specification is one of a series of blank detail specifications for semiconductor
devices and should be used with the following IEC publications:
IEC 60747-10/QC 700000:1991, Semiconductor devices – Part 10: Generic specification for
discrete devices and integrated circuits
IEC 60747-12/QC 720100:1991, Semiconductor devices – Part 12: Sectional specification for
optoelectronic devices
Required information
Numbers shown in brackets on this and the following page correspond to the following items of
required information, which should be entered in the spaces provided.
Identification of the detail specification
[1] The name of the national standards organization under whose authority the detail
specification is issued.
[2] The IECQ number of the detail specification.
[3] The numbers and issue numbers of the generic and sectional specifications.
[4] The national number of the detail specification, data of issue and any further information, if
required by the national system.
Identification of the component
[5] Main function and type number.
[6] Information on typical construction (materials, the main technology) and the package. If a
device has several kinds of derivative products, those differences shall be indicated, for
example feature of characteristics in the comparison table.

If a device is sensitive to electrostatic charges, a caution statement shall be added in the
detail specification.
[7] Outline drawing, terminal identification, marking and/or reference to the relevant document
for outlines.
[8] Category of assessed quality according to 2.6 of the generic specification.
[9] Reference data.
_____________________________________________________________________________
[The clauses given in square brackets on the next pages of this standard, which form the front
page of the detail specification, are intended for guidance to the specification writer and shall
not be included in the detail specification.]
[When confusion may arise as to whether a paragraph is only an instruction to the writer or not,
the paragraph shall be indicated between square brackets.]
