Cooling Solution:

The Comet A13 SOM is equipped by default with an aluminum heat spreader that transfers heat from the primary heat sources on the module to a large surface area for efficient dissipation. If the expected power consumption of the Comet A13 SOM exceeds 7W, or if the user’s FPGA application utilizes more than 85% of logic elements (LEs) with a clock frequency above 200 MHz, the use of an fan is recommended to ensure the FPGA operates within safe temperature limits.
