Page 5: Chapter 1: About This Document
Thus, it is not intended to be used for the continuous inverter operation; it enables customers to evaluate driving and other characteristics of Broadcom's ACPL-337J gate drivers that are aimed for high-performance power electronics conversion systems. - Page 6 Due to the technical requirements, high voltage components are used, and some of them could contain dangerous substances. Because the failure of such components can harm the user and even endanger the user's life, it is necessary to take all necessary precautions and safety measures prior to the evaluation of the EB600-337J.
