EVALUATION BOARD/KIT IMPORTANT NOTICE

Texas Instruments (TI) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:

This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSESONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. Persons handling the product(s) must haveelectronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are not intended to be completein terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations, including product safety and environmentalmeasures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit doesnot fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling(WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.

Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30 days fromthe date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER TO BUYERAND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OFMERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user indemnifies TI from all claimsarising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to take any and allappropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANYINDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of patents orservices described herein.

Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the product. Thisnotice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s environmental and/orsafety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh .

No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, orcombination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.

FCC Warning

This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSESONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments maycause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures maybe required to correct this interference.

EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of–0.3 V to 3.6 V and the output voltage range of –0.3 V to 3.6 V.

Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are questionsconcerning 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 50 °C. The EVM is designed to operateproperly with certain components above 25 °C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but arenot limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identifiedusing 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.
