2 Evaluation Hardware Overview

CAUTION:
DRV8243S-Q1EVM, DRV8243H-Q1EVM, DRV8244S-Q1EVM, DRV8244H-Q1EVM, DRV8245S-Q1EVM

Hot surfaces on the EVM include the DRV824x-Q1, DRV826x-Q1, DRV816x-Q1 or DRV814x-Q1 device (U1) and the area surrounding.

When operating the EVM at the maximum device specifications and a high ambient temperature, external cooling fans can be required to minimize potential fire hazard, personal injury, or both.
