3.2Thermal Management

The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperature of each component is maintained within specified functional limits. The functional temperature limit is the range within which the electrical circuits may be expected to meet their specified performance requirements. Operation outside the functional limit may degrade system performance and cause reliability problems. The Development Kit is shipped with heatsink thermal solutions to be installed on the processor. This thermal solution has been tested in an open air environment at room temperature and is sufficient for evaluation purposes. The designer must ensure that adequate thermal management is provided for any customer-derived designs.
