POWER CONSUMPTION & THERMALS
Thermal Details
The Spacely Carrier Board has an Operating Temperature Range of -40
°
C to +85
°
C.
However, it is important to note that the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and TX1 Modules have its own properties
separate to that of the Spacely Carrier Board. The NVIDIA Jetson TX2i matches the Spacely Operating
Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C.
Customer responsibility requires proper implementation of a thermal solution that maintains the
TX2/TX2i/TX1 SoC and Thermal Transfer Plate (TTP) temperatures below the specified temperatures
(shown in the tables below) under the maximum thermal load and system conditions for their use case.
