Frequently Asked Questions

What is the proper input voltage range for safe operation?

The EVM must operate within 4.5 V to 16 V; exceeding this range may cause irreversible damage.

Can I connect any load or circuit output without checking first?

No, applying loads outside of the specified output range can cause unintended operation and potential permanent damage.

Is this evaluation kit suitable for direct commercial product manufacturing?

No, it is intended only for engineering development or evaluation purposes and is not considered fit for full commercial use.

Are there safety concerns regarding component temperatures during testing?

Yes; components like linear regulators may exceed 50°C, so be careful when placing measurement probes near these devices.
