FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general customer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to 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. - SSZZ017A - February 2006
EVM IMPORTANT NOTICE (CATEGORY B)
IMPORTANT: TI is providing the enclosed HPA212 evaluation module under the following conditions:

TI AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
•
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the EVM. The user acknowledge that the use
of the EVM could present serious hazards and that it is the user’s responsibility to take all precautions for the handling and
use of the EVMs in accordance with good laboratory practices. Please be aware that the products received may not be
regulatory compliant or agency certified (FCC, UL, 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.
•

EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 2.6 V to 4.5 V and the output voltage range of 2.6 V to 4.5 V.
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 25
°
C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 70
°
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.
