Thermal Considerations
The main processor on the Z3-DM8107-MOD generates a large amount of heat, and is cooled by a heat sink
type cooler. The heat sink may reach temperatures in excess of 75°C during work. Please make sure that the
airflow for the heat sink is free and unimpeded at all times. Hot air must have a place to escape to allow for
room air to be used to cool the chip. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the processor. The
maximum continuous power consumption by the whole Z3-DM8107-MOD system during normal operation
should be less than 6W, with up to 5W dissipated by the main processor. Please plan the cooling strategy
appropriately.
