Safety Information
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 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 Boards
CY3274 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.
CAUTION: High Voltage (Risk of Electric Shock)
Extreme care is necessary when you work with powerline communication
equipment.
Use caution when using power supplies or power related equipment.
Use the board with expert technical supervision. There is high voltage (110-V, 240-
V AC) power on the board.
■
Accidental human contact with high voltage is dangerous.
■
The capacitors on the board can be energized even after disconnecting the board
from the main power supply. Be careful not to touch any parts on the board
immediately after you disconnect the main power supply.
■
Safety plastic casing is provided on the top of the high voltage section. Do not
touch the protected area during live operation for debugging, probing, or for any
other purpose.
Cypress bears no responsibility for any consequences that may result from the
improper or hazardous use of this board.
The kit CY3274 contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices.
Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any equipment,
and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions are recommended to
avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Store unused CY3274
boards in the protective shipping package.
End-of-Life / Product Recycling
This Kit has an end-of-life cycle after five years from the date of manufacturing
mentioned on the back side of the box. Please contact your nearest recycler for
discarding the kit.
