When a PSU of this type is used, it will not power up correctly and the CP306 may hang up. The solution is to use an industrial PSU or to add more load to the system.
The values in the above table are measured using the Intel® High Power Tool. This tool serves only for checking the onboard power supplies and does not represent the power consumption of the CP306 during normal operation. In normal software applications this maximum power consumption level will never be reached.
The values in the above table are measured using the Intel® High Power Tool. This tool serves only for checking the onboard power supplies and does not represent the power consumption of the CP306 during normal operation. In normal software applications this maximum power consumption level will never be reached.
100 mW Start-Up Current of the CP306 The following tables indicate the start-up current of the CP306 during the first 2-3 seconds after the power supply has been switched on. The power consumption of the CP306 during opera- tion is indicated in tables 6-4 to 6-7 and 6-9 to 6-12.
7.1.1 Passive Thermal Regulation The thermal management architecture implemented on the CP306 can be described as being three separate but related functions. The goal of all three functions is to protect the processor and reduce processor power consumption. Enabling the thermal control circuit allows the pro- cessor to maintain a safe operating temperature without the need for special software drivers or interrupt handling routines.
125°C. Upon assertion of Thermtrip, the processor will shut off its internal clocks (thus halting program execution) in an attempt to reduce the processor junction temperature. Once activated, Thermtrip remains latched until the CP306 undergoes a cold restart is per- formed (all power off and then on again).
7.1.2.1 Heat Sinks The CP306 is fitted with an optimally designed heat sink. The physical size, shape, and con- struction ensures the best possible thermal resistance (R ) coefficients. In addition, it is spe- cifically designed to efficiently support forced air flow concepts as found in a modern CompactPCI system chassis.
7.1.2.2 Forced Air Flow When developing applications using the CP306, the system integrator must be aware of the overall system thermal requirements. System chassis must be provided which satisfy these re- quirements. As an aid to the system integrator, a processor characteristics graph is provided for the Pentium®...
An airflow of 1.0 m/s is a typical value for a standard Kontron ASM rack (3U CompactPCI rack with a 1U cooling fan tray). Newer ASMs from Kontron will have an airspeed of 2.0 m/s or more. For other racks or housings the available airflow will differ. The maximum ambient operating temperature must be recalculated and/or measured for such environments.
When determining the themal requirements for a given application, peripherals to be used with the CP306 must also be considered. Devices such as hard disks, PMC modules, etc. which are directly attached to the CP306 must also be capable of being operated at the temperatures foreseen for the application.
The module connects to the CP306 across an I/O extension connector. The I/O extension connector provides the possibility to mount several Low Pin Count (LPC) devices to the CP306 for adding additional functionality which is not provided on the CP306 main board.
