3 EVM Hardware Overview
To use the EVM hardware, set the jumpers, connect the USB2ANY to the EVM together with the 30-pin ribbon
cable, apply external power (optional), and connect the USB cable from the USB2ANY to the PC. This section
presents the details of these procedures.
3.1 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
CAUTION
Many of the components on the AFE881H1EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling the
EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
