Evaluation Board/Kit Important NoticeTexasInstruments (TI) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
Thisevaluation 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 have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are
notintended to be complete in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations,
includingproduct safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor
componentsor circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagneticcompatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the
technicalrequirements of these directives or other related directives.
Shouldthis evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30
daysfrom the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY
SELLERTO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANYWARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Theuser 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
takeany and all appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.
EXCEPTTO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
FORANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TIcurrently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TIassumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patentsor services described herein.
Pleaseread the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the
product.This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s
environmentaland/or safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh.
Nolicense is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combinationin which such TI products or services might be or are used.
FCC WarningThisevaluation 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
canradiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
ofFCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipmentin other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
willbe required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and RestrictionsItis important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of –16.5V to +21V and the output voltage range of –15V to +15V.
Exceedingthe 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.
Applyingloads 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.
Duringnormal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than +30° C. The EVM is designed to
operateproperly with certain components above +60° C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
includebut are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devicescan be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
thesedevices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
