Thermal characterization

nRF93M1 Datasheet

Module-level thermal-resistance and temperature-monitoring data.

Operating temperature range

nRF93M1 operates over an ambient temperature range of −35 °C to +75 °C. Module-level derating (if any) is given in the Recommended Operating Conditions chapter.

Thermal resistance

ParameterValueUnit
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJATBD°C/W
Junction-to-case thermal resistance, θJCTBD°C/W
Junction-to-top characterization parameter, ΨJTTBD°C/W
Junction-to-board characterization parameter, ΨJBTBD°C/W

Measurements follow JEDEC standards JESD51-2 (θJA, ΨJT) and JESD51-8 (θJC) on a 2s2p test board.

On-chip temperature monitor

The host application can read the on-chip temperature through the proprietary AT%ADC command.

Host PCB guidance

For reliable operation at elevated ambient temperature:

  • Use a thermal-relief-free copper pour under the module footprint on the host PCB to improve heat spreading.
  • Add thermal vias beneath the module when the host PCB uses inner ground planes.
  • Avoid placing heat-generating components (high-current regulators, RF power amplifiers, or CPU) directly adjacent to the nRF93M1.
