PCAL6524EV-ARD evaluation board

IMPORTANT NOTICE

For engineering development or evaluation purposes only

NXP provides the product under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is 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 connecting it to the

host MCU 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

heavily depends 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 product 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 device incorporating the

product. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the responsibility of

the user to take all appropriate precautions for electric 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, contact NXP sales

and technical support services.
