EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the specified input and output ranges described in the EVM User’s
Guide.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the
EVM. If there are questions concerning 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 60°C. The
EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long as the input and output
ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching
transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified using 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.
