Page 3: Safety Information
General safety instructions ESD protection ESD can damage boards and associated components. Infineon recommends that the user perform procedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on the board when handling parts. -
