Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is dangerous for electronic devices, especially when
tools or hands get in contact with connectors and electronic components. We
recommend measures to avoid damage by ESD:
•
Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your
body is grounded.
• Workplace: Use a static-safe workplace with static-dissipative mat and air
ionization.
• Wrist strap: Wear a static-dissipative wrist strap to ground your body.
• Clothing: Wear ESD-protective clothing. Keep components away from your
body and clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded
but your clothes are not.
• Bare board and open housing cameras: use a special ESD protective housing.
Cable connections
Provide sufficient strain relief for all cable connections to avoid short circuits and
malfunctions.
PCBAs
Alvium CSI-2 cameras enable access to PCBAs (printed circuit board assemblies).
Keep away from camera electronics to avoid damage.
Camera power
Operating the camera beyond the specified range damages the camera. Cameras
are powered using the FPC connector at a maximum input of 5.5 VDC, using a
limited power source (LPS), according to IEC62368-1: 2014 (Second Edition) with
maximum 1.5 A. The camera is not intended to be connected to a DC distribution
network.
GPIOs
To avoid damage to the camera, keep maximum input voltage below 5.5 VDC and
maximum current less than 12 mA per output. See
Specifications on page 24. The
maximum length for I/O cables must not exceed 30 m.
