2 Important notice
NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a
printed circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and supply terminals.
This evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of
I/O signals by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off-the-
shelf cables. This evaluation board is not a Reference Design and is not intended to
represent a final design recommendation for any particular application. Final device in
an application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat
sinking design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O
signal quality.
The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and
or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety measures
typically found in the end product incorporating the goods. Due to the open construction
of the product, it is the user's responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions
with regard to electrostatic discharge. In order to minimize risks associated with the
customers applications, adequate design and operating safeguards must be provided
by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards. For any safety concerns,

returned within 30 days from the date of delivery and will be replaced by a new kit.
NXP reserves the right to make changes without further notice to any products herein.
NXP makes no warranty, representation or guarantee regarding the suitability of its
products for any particular purpose, nor does NXP assume any liability arising out of the
application or use of any product or circuit, and specifically disclaims any and all liability,
including without limitation consequential or incidental damages. “Typical” parameters
can and do vary in different applications and actual performance may vary over time.
All operating parameters, including “Typical”, must be validated for each customer
application by customer’s technical experts.
