4 ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATION
4.1 TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION
The VC8300 Carrier board can operate with temperature from 5℃ to + 50℃.
4.2 HEATSINK AND FAN
The VC8300 Carrier board provides mounting screws for one heatsink with size 70mmx100mmx11mm and has provision to install an optional fan. NXP i.MX 6 thermal management information is available in the reference document below.
Reference document: http://www.nxp.com/assets/documents/data/en/application-notes/AN4579.pdf
Temperature measurements were done with a few loading options like heatsink and fan. The results shared below are only indicative in nature and the actual temperature that the SoC would go up to and the need for a heat sink and/or a fan is dependent upon the actual application being run, the deployment conditions, the expected operational life of the product and the grade of the SoC chosen.
Thermal test result as below with the back-cover covering the heatsink.
Test Condition:
CPU Type: QuadPlus(MCIMX6QP5EYM1AA, consumer, extended commercial,1GHz)
Quad(MCIMX6Q5EYM10AD, consumer, extended commercial, 1GHz)
DualLite(MCIMX6U5EVM10AC, consumer, extended commercial, 1GHz)
