*) Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "Recommended Operating Condition". Exposure to absolute-maximum rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Recommended Operating Conditions

Temperature range

Trenz Electronic classifies modules into temperature range categories by subsumption of its component data (PCB, ICs, connectors, passive components). The temperature ranges are values for ambient air temperature and do not reflect the junction temperature of individual components.

The categories are:

  • Modules with commercial (C) temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
  • Modules with extended (E) temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
  • Modules with industrial (I) temperature grade are equipped with components that cover at least the ambient temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C.

These categories do not take into account the entire custom system consisting of:

  • Customer FPGA design. The allowed main FPGA temperature range is specified from the vendor by junction temperature using corresponding classes (C, E, I). See vendor documentation.
  • Cooling solution, active and or passive cooling.
  • Climate or environmental conditions besides ambient temperature range.
  • Module orientation, neighbouring assemblies, neither other heat sources nor the FPGA as heat source to other components.

Classification of the module can be looked up here: Article Number Information i.e.: TExxxx-xx-xx'I'xx, the 'I' indicates that all components are at least in Industrial temperature class.

The temperature of individual components should not exceed the specified range due to self-heating or heating by adjacent components. The actual operating temperature range will depend on the customer design, usage, environment and cooling solution. Consult Cooling Solutions for more information.

The following table aims to be generic for all variants. The voltage ranges are consistent across assembly variants, but exceptions are possible (custom request).

Information for users within the European Union in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Users of electrical and electronic equipment in private households are required not to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such waste electrical and electronic equipment separately. By the 13 August 2005, Member States shall have ensured that systems are set up allowing final holders and distributors to return waste electrical and electronic equipment at least free of charge. Member States shall ensure the availability and accessibility of the necessary collection facilities. Separate collection is the precondition to ensure specific treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment and is necessary to achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the European Union. Consumers have to actively contribute to the success of such collection and the return of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment results in potential effects on the environment and human health. The symbol consisting of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
