8 ESD Precautions
Normal ESD precautions are required during the handling of this equipment. The transceivers and
evaluation boards are shipped in ESD protective packaging. They should be removed from the
packaging and otherwise handled in an ESD protected environment utilizing standard grounded
benches, floor mats, and wrist straps.
The following precautions should be observed at all times when using static-sensitive boards and devices.
8.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
When handling electrostatic sensitive devices make certain that the environment is protected against
electrostatic discharge. Operators should wear anti-static clothing. Containers and other objects that
come into direct contact with devices should be made of anti-static materials and should be grounded
to earth via a 0.5 MΩ to 1.0 MΩ protective resistor. Please follow the precautions described below.
8.2 Work Environment
When humidity in the working environment decreases, the human body and other insulators can
easily become charged with static electricity due to friction. Maintain the recommended humidity of
40% to 60% in the work environment, while also taking into account the fact that moisture-proof-
packed products may absorb moisture after unpacking.
Be sure that all equipment, jigs and tools in the working area are grounded to earth.
Place a conductive mat over the floor of the work area, or take other appropriate measures, so that
the floor surface is protected against static electricity and is grounded to earth. The surface resistivity
should be 10
4
to 10
8
Ω /sq and the resistance between surface and ground, 7.5 x 10
5
to 10
8
Ω
13
