Many systems requiring real-time control operate in very high ambient temperatures without the benefits of cooling air flow. In many motor-drive systems and electric vehicles, ambient temperatures can reach as high as 85°C, leaving little room for temperature dissipation for the electronics. For this reason, processors in such environments need to be very power-conscious and efficient.
The Sitara AM2x MCU portfolio offers tremendous power efficiency, with devices like the AM2434 consuming <1 W while still offering all the integration and computing performance. It can operate under very high-heat conditions reliably, without the need for cooling fans or costly heat sinks.
