    XMC-G460 2.3 Power Consumption The power consumption data of the XMC-G460 was measured using 3D Mark06 at different engine clock frequencies (memory clock fixed at 700MHz). Configuration Futuremark 3DMark06 Professional Edition 1.1.0 Current (A) Power (W) Engine Voltage (V) Clock...
  • Page 20: Thermal Requirements

    2.4 Thermal Requirements This section provides information on the thermal requirements of the XMC-G460. Cooling of the board and its components is pro- vided by the thermal module (passive heatsink) and is dependent on sufficient airflow from the chassis. The amount of thermal energy that can by dissipated from the board is dependent on the ambient air temperature, power con- sumption of the host board, and the airflow rate of the chassis.
