DEMONSTRATION BOARD IMPORTANT NOTICE

Linear Technology Corporation (LTC) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following 

AS IS

 conditions:

This demonstration board (DEMO BOARD) kit being sold or provided by Linear Technology is intended for use for 

ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT 

OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY

 and is not provided by LTC for commercial use. As such, the DEMO BOARD herein may not be complete 

in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations, including but not limited to product safety 

measures typically found in finished commercial goods. As a prototype, this product does not fall within the scope of the European Union 

directive on electromagnetic compatibility and therefore may or may not meet the technical requirements of the directive, or other regulations.
If this evaluation kit does not meet the specifications recited in the DEMO BOARD manual the kit may be returned within 30 days from the date 

of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY THE SELLER TO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU 

OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS 

FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THIS INDEMNITY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR 

ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user releases LTC from all claims 

arising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to take any and all 

appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge. Also be aware that the products herein may not be regulatory compliant or 

agency certified (FCC, UL, CE, etc.).
No License is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property whatsoever. 

LTC assumes no liability for applications assistance, 

customer product design, software performance, or infringement of patents or any other intellectual property rights of any kind.

LTC currently services a variety of customers for products around the world, and therefore this transaction 

is not exclusive

.

Please read the DEMO BOARD manual prior to handling the product

. Persons handling this product must have electronics training and 

observe good laboratory practice standards. 

Common sense is encouraged

.

This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For further safety concerns, please contact a LTC applica-
