EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments
. Unless otherwise
indicated, this EVM is not a finished electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is
intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in laboratory/development environments by
technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks associated
with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or
part of a finished end product.
Your Sole Responsibility and Risk.
You acknowledge, represent and agree that:
1. You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including
but not limited to Food and Drug Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your
products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees, affiliates, contractors or
designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.
2. You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with
all such laws and other applicable regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any
activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, using
the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical)
between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit
accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
3. You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any
property damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected.
4.
You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing
materials.
Certain Instructions
. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and
environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but
not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property
damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field
representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any
loads applied outside of the specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation
and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. 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 60
o
C as long as the input and output are maintained at a
normal ambient operating temperature. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators,
switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the EVM
schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices
during normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all
electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic measurement and
diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs.
Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless
. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its
licensors and their representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the
EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether
Claims arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as
described or expected.
