Zynq 7Z030 on SOM heats up, can fry board

Hi,

The Zynq 7Z030 heats up quickly, even under light load. The heat spreads to other parts of the SOM and EMC2DP boards, and I can even sense the sweet smell of buring copper and solder from about 30 cm in say an hour!

A good cooling solution is the need of the hour. Please recommend a heat sink and cooling fan that I can buy.

Best regards,
Ananya

Hi Ananya,

Have you got a heat-wave in Norway as well?? - We got one (maybe last this year..) in United Kingdom and 30C

This is the heat-sink - https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/en/269 ... d-embedded - but small fan will surely also help instantly. Even a simply desk-fan that you might have around the lab.
