2.3 Thermal Performance
If the ACAP core temperature exceeds 105 degrees Celsius, the ACAP design will be cleared to prevent the card
from over-heating.
The ADM-PA101 comes with a heat sink to avoid thermal overstress of ACAP, since it is typically the hottest point
on the card. The ACAP die temperature must remain under 100 degrees Celsius. To estimate the ACAP die
temperature: first take your total board power (see next paragraph), then multiply by Theta JA from the graph
below, and add the resulting temperature to your system internal ambient temperature.
The power dissipation can be estimated by using the Alpha Data power estimator in conjunction with the Xilinx
Power Estimator (XPE) downloadable at
www.xilinx.com/products/technology/power/xpe.html
. Download the
Versal tool and set the device according to your part number details: Versal AI Core Series, XCVC1902,
VSVA2197 package, -2MS/-3HS speed grade, extended. Set the ambient temperature to your system ambient
and select 'user override' for the effective theta JA. Then enter the figure associated with your system LFM in the
blank field. Proceed to enter all applicable design elements and utilization in the following spreadsheet tabs. Next
acquire the PA101 power estimator from Alpha Data by contacting [email protected]. Enter in the
power figures from XPE, FMC+ (if used), and DRAM utilization into the Alpha Data spreadsheet to get a
complete board level estimate.
