EPRO CON011 9200-00001 Front-end module

The Motorola MVME162 Embedded Controller is specified, designed, and tested to operate reliably with an incoming air temperature range from 0° to 55° C (32° to 131° F) with forced air cooling at a velocity typically achievable by using a 100 CFM axial fan. Temperature qualification is performed in a standard Motorola VMEsystem 3000 chassis. Twenty-five watt load boards are inserted in two card slots, one on each side, adjacent to the board under test, to simulate a high power density system configuration. An assembly of three axial fans, rated at 100 CFM per fan, is placed directly under the VME card cage. The incoming air temperature is measured between the fan assembly and the card cage, where the incoming airstream first encounters the controller under test. Test software is executed as the controller is subjected to ambient temperature variations. Case temperatures of critical, high power density integrated circuits are monitored to ensure component vendors specifications are not exceeded

While the exact amount of airflow

 required for cooling depends on the ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM and 490 LFM flowing over the controller. Less airflow is required to cool the controller in environments having lower maximum ambients. Under more favorable thermal conditions, it may be possible to operate the controller reliably at higher than 55° C with increased airflow. It is important to note that there are several factors, in addition to the rated CFM of the air mover, which determine the actual volume and speed of air flowing over the controller.

Special Considerations for Elevated Temperature Operation 

The following information is for users whose applications for the MVME162 may subject it to high temperatures. The MVME162 uses commercial grade devices. Therefore, it can operate in an environment with ambient air temperatures from 0° C to 70° C. Several factors influence the ambient temperature seen by components on the MVME162. Among them are inlet air temperature; air flow characteristics; number, types, and locations of IndustryPack (IP) modules; power dissipation of adjacent boards in the system, etc.
