EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM) WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. The EVM is not a
complete product. 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. Since the EVM is not a completed product, it may not meet all applicable regulatory and safety
compliance standards which may normally be associated with similar items. You assume full
responsibility to determine and/or assure compliance with any such standards and related certifications
as may be applicable. 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. Customer must 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°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.
Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in
safety critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be
expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III
or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate
Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
