1.2 General Safety Instructions
1.2.1 ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that you 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.
1.2.2 Handling Boards
CY4541 EZ-PD CCG4 EVK 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 the board over any surface.
Any physical action on the CY4541 EZ-PD CCG4 EVK such as changing wires, jumper settings, or measuring voltages can cause
stress on the CY4541 printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and Type-C connectors. You must ensure that the PCBA has proper
support on the bottom side to avoid stress on the PCBA when the EVK is in operation.
