Notes:

  • All VADJ pins must be supplied with the same voltage chosen from one of the following levels: +1.2VDC, +1.5VDC, +1.8VDC, +2.5VDC, +3.3VDC. Note that many carriers have a system controller that will make this choice for you.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the M.2 M-key Stack FMC will depend heavily on the M.2 modules being used and the load they are being put under. Power consumption measurements will be added to this section in the near future.

Thermal Information

We have not performed comprehensive thermal testing on the M.2 M-key Stack FMC, however we recommend that it be operated under ambient temperatures between 0 and 70 degrees C. This advice is based on the recommended ambient operating temperatures of a basket of NVMe SSDs currently on the market. The active devices on the mezzanine card itself have operating ranges that exceed those of the typical SSD and are listed in the table below.
