Evaluation Board Manual
EUDC59-U-002 - Rev. 1.3
1. Safety Instructions
1.1 Warnings
This evaluation kit (EVK) should be operated in a well ventilated environment and, if used inside a case, the case should
not be covered.
This EVK should be placed on a stable, flat, non-conductive surface in use and should not be contacted by conductive
items.
All peripherals used with the EVK should comply with relevant standards for the country of use and be marked accordingly
to ensure that safety and performance requirements are met.
Where peripherals are connected that do not include the cable or connector, the cable or connector used must offer
adequate insulation and operation in order that the requirements of the relevant performance and safety are met.
The connection of incompatible devices to the EVK may affect compliance or result in damage to the unit and invalidate the
warranty.
1.2 Instructions for Safe Use
Do not expose the EVK to water, moisture or place on a conductive surface whilst in operation.
Do not expose the EVK to temperatures, which are out of the operational range specified for hardware and components
populating the EVK.
Take care whilst handling to avoid mechanical or electrical damage to the printed circuit board and components.
Avoid handling the printed circuit board while it is powered. Only handle by the edges to minimize the risk of electrostatic
discharge damage.
Do not short any outputs to each other, to the supply or to GND.
Do not reverse polarize the power supply connection.
Do not operate the EVK outside its specified ratings.
Take care to monitor the PCB and motor driver IC temperature when operating with high load currents and do not exceed
the absolute maximum ratings of all components.
