1.1.1
Ensuring safety
An on‑board connector supplies 12V DC to the board.
•
Do not use the board near equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic emissions, for example,
medical equipment.
•
Any external 12V DC +/- 10% power supply that is used must be a limited power source.
1.1.2
Operating temperature
The MPS2 and MPS2+ FPGA Prototyping Boards have been tested in the temperature range 15°C to
30°C.
1.1.3
Preventing damage
The board is intended for use within a laboratory or engineering development environment. The board is
sensitive to electrostatic discharges and permits electromagnetic emissions.
To avoid damage to the board, observe the following precautions:
•
You must connect the external power supply to the board before powerup to prevent damage.
•
Never subject the board to high electrostatic potentials. Observe Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions when handling any board.
•
Always wear a grounding strap when handling the board.
•
Only hold the board by the edges.
•
Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element except the metal shielding for the
connectors.
•
Avoid contact with components on the board which might be hot or sharp.
•
Ensure that the voltage on the pins of the FPGA and interface circuitry on the board is at the correct
level.
•
You must not configure as outputs any FPGA pins that connect directly to other outputs or an external
signal source.
•
Do not use the board near a transmitter of electromagnetic emissions.
1.1.4
Encryption key
Arm supplies the MPS2 and MPS2+ FPGA Prototyping Boards with encryption keys programmed into
the FPGAs.
