2.2 ESD and Handling Precaution
Please note that the LPCXpresso Base Board come without any case/box and all components are
exposed for finger touches –and therefore extra attention must be paid to ESD (Electro-Static
Discharge) precaution.
Make it a habit to always first touch the metal surface of one of the USB or SC/MMC connectors
for a few seconds with both hands before touching any other parts of the boards. That way, you
will have the same electrical potential as the board and therefore minimize the risk for ESD.
Note that Embedded Artists does not replace boards that have been damaged by ESD.
Do not exercise pressure on the OLED display glass area. That will surely damage the display. Also,
do not apply pressure on the flex cable connecting the OLED to the pcb. This cable is relatively
sensitive and can be damaged if too much pressure is applied to it.
Note that Embedded Artists do not replace OLED displays where it has been improperly
handled.
2.3 CE Assessment
The LPCXpresso Base Board (in combination with an LPCXpresso target board) is CE marked. See
separate CE Declaration of Conformity document.
The LPCXpresso Base Board is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
EMC emission test has been performed on the LPCXpresso Base Board with the LPCXpresso
LPC1769 Board. Standard interfaces like Ethernet, USB, serial have been in use. General expansion
connectors where internal signals are made available (for example processor pins) have been left
unconnected. Connecting other devices to the product via the general expansion connectors may alter
EMC emission. It is the user’s responsibility to make sure EMC emission limits are not exceeded when
connecting other devices to the general expansion connectors of the LPCXpresso Base Board.
Due to the nature of the LPCXpresso Base Board –an evaluation board not for integration into an end-
product –fast transient immunity tests and conducted radio-frequency immunity tests have not been
executed. Externally connected cables are assumed to be less than 3 meters. The general expansion
connectors where internal signals are made available do not have any other ESD protection than from
the chip themselves. Observe ESD precaution.
2.4 Other Products from Embedded Artists
Embedded Artists have a broad range of low cost LPC1000/LPC2000/LPC3000/LPC4000 based
boards developed for prototyping / development as well as for OEM applications. Modifications for
OEM applications can be done easily, even for modest production volumes. Contact Embedded Artists
for further information about design and production services.
