Operating Conditions
Safety
The module presents no hazard to the user.
EMC
The module is designed to operate within an enclosed host system that provides adequate
EMC shielding. Operation within the EU EMC guidelines is only guaranteed when the module
is installed within an appropriate host system.
The module is protected from damage by fast voltage transients introduced along output
cables from outside the host system.
Short-circuiting any output to ground does not cause the host PC system to lock up or
reboot.
General Requirements
The module must be fixed to a TIM40-compliant carrier board.
The SMT395Q TIM is in a range of modules that must be supplied with a 3.3V power source.
In addition to the 5V supply specified in the TIM specification, these new generation modules
require an additional 3.3V supply to be presented on the two diagonally-opposite TIM
mounting holes. The lack of this 3.3V power supply should not damage the module, although
it will obviously be inoperable; prolonged operation under these circumstances is not
recommended.
The SMT395 is compatible with all Sundance TIM carrier boards. It is a 5V tolerant module,
and as such, it may be used in mixed systems with older TIM modules, carrier boards and
I/O modules.
Use of the TIM on SMT327 (cPCI) motherboards may require a firmware upgrade. If the top
right LED on the SMT395 remains illuminated once the TIM is plugged in and powered up,
the SMT327 needs the upgrade. The latest firmware is supplied with all new boards shipped.
Please contact Sundance directly if you have an older board and need the upgrade.
The external ambient temperature must remain between 0°C and 40°C, and the relative
humidity must not exceed 95% (non-condensing).
Power Consumption
The power consumption of this TIM is dependent on the operating conditions in terms of core
activity and I/O activity. The maximum power consumption is 10W.
