    We are using model SOMDM3730-31-1880AKIR in high temperature environment. My questions is: Is the module going to shut itself down if it gets too hot? If yes, at what temperature. If not, what's the max safe temperature? I see the junction temp is 105C but can we get to that temperature without corrupting the data?

    Hamed,

    The DM37x processor has an on-chip junction temperature sensor.  However, the silicon does not automatically shutdown when the die exceeds the recommended maximum temperature. 

    I would recommend reviewing the information provided in the     DM3730/AM3703 Torpedo SOM Thermal Management white paper for ideas how to create a Thermal Shutdown/Hot-Die warning mechanism and/or implement thermal dissipation solutions to protect your system from overheating.   

    Customers looking for assistance to protect against thermal problems are encouraged to contact us using this link.


    Regards,

    Brad

    Hamed,

    You will need to register a SOM or development kit to access the link provided.

     

    To register your SOM or development kit please click here.

     

    This will give you access to all the files made available to assist in integrating the SOM into your design. 

     

    Thanks,

    Brad
