Notes:
  • No Specifications for Min/Max PL1/PL2 values.

  • Hardware default of PL1 Tau=1s, By including the benefits available from power and thermal management features the recommended is to use PL1 Tau=28s.

  • PL2- Processor opportunistic higher Average Power – Reactive, Limited Duration controlled by Tau_​PL1 setting.

  • PL1 Tau - PL1 average power is controlled via PID algorithm with this Tau, The larger the Tau, the longer the PL2 duration.

  • System cooling solution and designs found to not being able to support the Performance TauPL1, adjust the TauPL1 to cooling capability.

Notes:
  1. The thermal solution needs to ensure that the processor temperature does not exceed the Processor Base Power (a.k.a TDP) Specification Temperature Range.
  2. The processor junction temperature is monitored by Digital Temperature Sensors (DTS). For DTS accuracy, refer to Digital Thermal Sensor.
