Description
TDP Limit Functional
targets
Worst case TDP shall not be higher than 1850mW.
The worst case TDP shall be based on Average
Power consumption measurement over 5 Minutes
with Max TCP/IP Throughput activity.
Note: Functional modes include all product operation scenarios that can be accessed,
using end users distribution software (scenarios that may only be exercised using lab or
OEM support software tools are not included).
5.2 Thermal Specifications
JacksonPeak1, JacksonPeak2, Marble Peak, Canyon Peak and Canyon Peak with Bluetooth
thermal is derived from its components MAC Baseband and the Radio chipset.

Thermal Shield
Performance
targets
JP1, JP2, MP, CyP and CyP w/Bluetooth shall have full performance at
shield temperatures up to 80ºC.
Testing conditions:
 System environmental conditions:
1. High limit: ~50-55ºC under controlled environment
(Oven), with no air flow (inside a Box).
2. Low limit: 0ºC (starting point) under controlled
environment (Oven), with no air flow (inside a Box).
Thermal Silicon
protection
JP1, JP2, MP, CyP and CyP w/Bluetooth shall have silicon protection
mechanism (CT-Kill).
Thermal Silicon protection will not be activated below 95ºC T-shield
temperature.
5.2.1 Thermal Management and Critical Shutdown
The device thermal management cut off RF operation once a maximal temperature Critical
Temperature termination (CT-Kill) threshold has been exceeded. After cutoff point has been
reached, the RF remains at the off position until it cools down to Thermal Activation threshold,
during which the host cannot set the RF back to on.
5.2.2 Wi-Fi Thermal Throttling
The Product implements an autonomous Thermal throttling algorithm, to protect the Silicon
from permanent thermal damage, and ensure (as much as possible) connectivity even in hard
Thermal conditions.
