Safety information 

 

Safety information

 

The 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 reference board is intended for use as an evaluation platform for hardware or 

software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open-system design, which does not include a shielded 
enclosure. Due to this reason, the board may cause interference to other electrical or electronic devices in close 
proximity. In such cases, take adequate preventive measures. Also, do not use this board near any medical 
equipment or RF devices.  

Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory default may 
affect its performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such 
interference is detected, suitable mitigating measures must be taken. 

 

The 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 reference board contains ESD-sensitive devices. 

Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any equipment, 
which can cause a discharge without detection. Permanent damage may occur to 
devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions are 
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Store 
unused 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 reference boards in the protective shipping package. 

General safety instructions 

ESD protection  

ESD can damage boards and associated components. Infineon recommends that the user perform procedures 
only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is unavailable, 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 

The boards provided with the 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 reference board are sensitive to ESD. When removed from 

the casing, this applies to the boards supplied with a plastic casing. Hold the boards only by the edges. Place it 
on a grounded, static-free surface after removing a board from the box/casing. Use a conductive foam pad, if 
available. Do not slide the board over any surface.

Do not touch the inverter output area marked below while the reference board is 
in use. The components in this area may operate at a voltage higher than 30 V 

 

 

Keep the coil area of the reference board clear from any metallic debris 

 

Monitor the coil interface
