4.3.4.2 THERMTRIP# overtemperature alarm signal
THERMTRIP# is triggered when MLU290-M5 chip junction temperature is over 100℃, which is
irreversible after effective. It is recommended to trigger fan full speed when the chip temperature of
MLU290-M5 is below 93℃, trigger power drop to 1/2 when chip temperature rises to 97℃, trigger
power drop to 1/4 when chip temperature rises to 98℃, trigger power drop to 1/8 when chip
temperature rises to 99℃.If the chip temperature rises to 100℃, which means the power reduction
measures fail, the system may have fan failure or other catastrophic failures. At this time MLU290-M5
will pull down the THERMTRIP# signal to alarm baseboard management system. MLU290-M5 will
automatically cut off the power supply for shutdown protection after 1s.
THERMTRIP# signal will continue to be low after effective. It is recommended to confirm manually
on site, and restart the system after troubleshooting.
4.3.4.3 Power Configuration Signal
MLU290-M5 Intelligent Accelerating Card provides two power configuration pins:PWRBRK#
and PWRRDT#[1:0].PWRBRK# is based on the current power consumption and responses
fast.When low-level is effective,it is reduced to 1/4 of the current power
consumption.PWRRDT#[1:0] is a hardware implementation mode of power capping, which can
set 4 types of TDP power consumption: 350 W, 300W, 250W, 200. It is recommended that the
baseboard should be pulled up to 3.3V by default to obtain better performance.
The MLU290-M5 Intelligent Accelerating Card also supports setting the upper limit of TDP
power consumption by sending power capping instructions through the I2C interface, and the
setting range is 175 W-350W.

5. Heat dissipation specifications
5.1 Heat dissipation instructions
MLU290-M5 Intelligent Accelerating Card adopts passive heat dissipation mode.
5.2 Maximum operating temperature
Maximum operating temperature means the recommended maximum operating temperature
(junction temperature Tj) of MLU290-M5. Junction temperature is obtained through the chip built-in
temperature sensor at the software interface through instructions. It is recommended to control the
maximum operating temperature of the main chip of MLU290-M5 below 95℃.
5.3 Slowdown temperature
Slowdown temperature means the temperature point which the IPU frequency is reduced.The
slowdown temperature of MLU290-M5 is 97℃.
5.4 Shutdown temperature
Shutdown temperature means the temperature point which the power is cut off. The shutdown
temperature should not be triggered during normal operation, and the system may have a catastrophic
damage when the shutdown temperature is triggered. The shutdown temperature of MLU290-M5 is
100℃.
When the chip junction temperature of MLU290-M5 reaches 100℃, the THERMTRIP# signal
will be triggered and the power supply of MLU290-M5 will be cut off after 1s. After the power is cut
off, it is recommended to eliminate the heat dissipation problem manually before restart.
