BQ79606A-Q1 Evaluation Module
WARNING: while the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical circuits as they
could be at high voltages capable of causing electrical shock hazard.
3.
Personal Safety:
1. Wear personal protective equipment, for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields
or protect EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.
4.
Limitation for Safe Use:
1. EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the
BQ76920 EVM. Observe all safety precautions.
Caution
Do not leave EVM powered when unattended.
Danger High
Voltage
The BQ79606EVM is not rated as a high voltage EVM, has smaller
clearances than normally used on high voltage boards and does not have
an isolation boundary. If you apply high voltage to this board, all terminals
should be considered high voltage.
spacer
Electric shock is possible when connecting the board to live wire. The
board should be handled with care by a professional.
spacer
For safety, use of isolated test equipment with overvoltage and
overcurrent protection is highly recommended.
CAUTION
The circuit module has signal traces, components, and component leads on the
bottom of the board. This may result in exposed voltages, hot surfaces, or
sharp edges. Do not reach under the board during operation.
CAUTION
The circuit module may be damaged by overtemperature. To avoid damage,
monitor the temperature during evaluation and provide cooling, as needed, for
your system environment.
CAUTION
Some power supplies can be damaged by application of external voltages. If
using more than 1 power supply, check your equipment requirements and use
blocking diodes or other isolation techniques, as needed, to prevent damage to
your equipment.
CAUTION
The communication interface is not isolated on the EVM. Be sure no ground
potential exists between the computer and the EVM. Also be aware that the
computer will be referenced to the Battery- potential of the EVM.
