Important notice
Please read well the item of the following, "Definitions", "Warnings", "Restrictions", and "Cautions" before using an
LLC Reference Board.
Definitions
•
The term "Guide" refers to all of the documents related to the LLC Reference Kit.
•
The term "LLC Reference Kit" refers to all of the attached LLC Reference board and other accessories.
•
The term "LLC Reference board" refers to all of the attached LLC Resonant Converter Board, MCU (Micro
Control Unit) Control board, and their protective case.
•
The term "LLC Resonant Converter Board" refers to the attached board (158 mm * 143 mm) on which GaN
(Gallium Nitride)-based power transistor and other circuit components are implemented.
•
The term "MCU Control Board" refers to the attached board (90.17 mm * 25.0 mm) on which Panasonic MCU is
implemented.
Warnings
•
Always turn off power first, and then disconnect all cables before carrying the LLC Reference board.
The failure
of the above may cause damage, fire, or electric shock.
•
Don't touch the LLC Reference board directly with power applied. The part of board carries high voltage.
The
failure of the above may cause severe injury, disability, or death.
•
Always turn off power before touching, servicing, or attaching cables or probes to the LLC Reference board,
except switching.
The failure of the above may cause damage or fire.
•
Be sure to comply with the "Startup Procedure" and "Shutdown Procedure" described in the Hardware Reference
Guide to startup or shutdown the LLC Reference board.
•
Don't change the circuit component values of the LLC Reference board. Changing values may cause malfunction,
abnormal operation, or damage, smoke, or fire.
•
Don't change settings for MCU with debugger. Changing the settings may cause malfunction, abnormal operation,
damage, smoke, or fire.
•
Don't leave the LLC Reference board for more than 10 minutes while the power is ON.
Otherwise, the heat
generated by the circuit components may cause malfunction or burns.
Restrictions
•
The LLC Reference Kit is intended for use as engineering development, verification, or evaluation purposes only.
Don't use the kit except for checking the basic performance and operation of the LLC circuit.
•
The LLC Reference Kit must be used only by qualified engineers and technicians as below:
- They are electronics-trained and experienced engineers, and familiar with risks associated with handling
high-voltage electrical and mechanical components, electric circuits, and systems.
- They observe good engineering practice standards.
•
The LLC Reference board is meant to be operated in the lab environment under the safe condition.
•
Please use the LLC Reference board in the state put in the protective case (accessory) when evaluating.
Cautions
•
This Guide is the technical document for the LLC Reference Kit of Panasonic Corporation.
•
The documents related to the LLC Reference Kit include the information for development purposes.
