FCC Warnings
This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other
environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to
take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM IMPORTANT NOTICE

or agency certified (FCC, UL, CE, etc.). 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.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE Liable to the other FOR
ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services described herein.
Please read the EVM User's Guide and, specifically, the EVM Warnings and Restrictions notice in the EVM User's Guide prior to
handling the product. This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For further safety
concerns, please contact the TI application engineer.
Persons handling the product must have electronics training and observe good laboratory practice standards.
No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM with the operating conditions specified within
of this document.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 37
°
C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 60
°
C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
