IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Be sure to read the precautions below entirely BEFORE using the Evaluation Board. Do not operate the
evaluation board unless you have the appropriate safety precautions in place on your bench to ensure a
successful experience.
The list below is not comprehensive and is not a substitute for common sense and good practice.

Refer to the specific regulator module data sheet for electrical rating of the device, thermal and
mechanical product details. It is important to remain within the device rated range when testing.

When testing electronic products always use approved safety glasses. Follow good laboratory practice
and procedures.

Care should be taken to protect the user from accidental contact when under power.
n
n
Provide a strain relief for wires and place the system on the bench in such a way as to prevent
accidental displacement from bench top.
n

Review thermal consideration and guideline associated with operating the evaluation board. Most
notably use a bench top fan and use rubber feet to elevate the PCB as they allow air flow to
the bottom.
n

Remove power and use caution when connecting and disconnecting test probes and interface lines
to avoid inadvertent short circuits and contact with hot surfaces.
n
n
Verify power connections to avoid reversing applied voltage polarities.
n

The product evaluation board is designed for general laboratory evaluation. It is not recommended
for installation in end user equipment.
