Intel Atom Processor N270 AU80586GE025D Data Sheet

 Datasheet 

The processor requires a thermal solution to maintain temperatures within operating 

limits. A complete thermal solution includes both component and system level thermal 

management features.  

The system/processor thermal solution should be designed such that the processor 

remains within the minimum and maximum junction temperature (T

J

) specifications at 

the corresponding thermal design power (TDP) value listed in Table 14 through Table 

16. Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may 

affect the long-term reliability of the processor and system. 

Attempts to operate the processor outside these operating limits may result in 

permanent damage to the processor and potentially other components in the system.

NOTES:  

1. 

The TDP specification should be used to design the processor thermal solution. The TDP 

is not the maximum theoretical power the processor can generate.  

2. 

Not 100% tested. These power specifications are determined by characterization of the 

processor currents at higher temperatures and extrapolating the values for the 

temperature indicated. 

3. 

As measured by the activation of the on-die Intel Thermal Monitor. The Intel Thermal 

Monitor’s automatic mode is used to indicate that the maximum T

J

 has been reached. 

Refer to Section 

 for more details. 

4. 

The Intel Thermal Monitor automatic mode must be enabled for the processor to 

operate within specifications. 

5. 

Deep Sleep state is mapped to Deeper Sleep State.
