This section describes the operating conditions that impact the performance and behavior
of nRF9160.
Temperature range
The optimal operating case temperature (Tc) of nRF9160 ranges from –30°C to 65°C, achieving the best RF performance including output power transmission and receiver sensitivity.
Voltage range
The operational voltage of nRF9160 ranges from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. The modem transceiver requires a minimum voltage of 3.3 V to fulfill RF performance in the environmental conditions described in nRF9160 Product Specification.
Physical characteristics
The physical dimensions of nRF9160 are 16.0 x 10.5 x 1.0 mm. It has a plastic compound mold and integrated metallization to suppress internal radiated emissions and protect against external radio interference.
