LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11 9 Other Information 9.1 EMI/EMC and Platform Noise The M.2 Data Card has shielding and noise filtering in place to ensure that the WWAN module does not impact the operation of the host system. The M.2 Data Card must also be able to tolerate platform noise caused by high order clock harmonics from the host processor and associated support circuitry.
LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11 The M.2 Data Card includes a digital thermal sensor in order to monitor the temperature of the WWAN Card. The firmware will support the extraction of temperature information from the module and the configuration of auxiliary trip points. The configuration of the thermal trip points and receipt of thermal data is available through a WWAN power control API in order for the host to implement a power and thermal management framework for the system.
