General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user perform
procedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal
surface) on the board when handling parts.
Handling Supercapacitors
The CY14NVSRAMKIT-001 board uses a 0.1 Farad supercapacitor for RTC backup. It is advisable
not to touch the capacitor positive pin (anode) with a bare hand or a conducting material to avoid
electrical shock.
Handling Boards
CY14NVSRAMKIT-001 boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After
removing the board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam
pad if available. Do not slide board over any surface.
