Precautions
All types of electronic components, particularly integrated circuits, are more or less
sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD is a general reason for failure of
electronic equipment. The total operating time can be reduced if precautions against
ESD-damage are not taken. See Figure 0-1.
WARNING !
Always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the ESD terminal whenever han-
dling boards and units.
