2.3 Powering the board

There are two possible ways of powering A13-OLinuXino-MICRO – via external supply using the
power jack, or via the USB OTG connector. Depending on your preferred way of powering A13-
OLinuXino-MICRO you might need additional hardware.
The preferred way of powering board is via the PWR jack with 5Vdc with a power of 5W (e.g.
5Vx1A ). This will make the board fully powered and able to power most peripherals connected to
it.
The board can also be powered by the USB OTG connector (mini USB standard) but the power
provided by a standard USB is not enough to power a lot of peripherals - either a LCD (connected
tothe LCD_con) or USB peripherals (connected to the USB type B) but not to power both. If you
still wish to use USB power there are is the option to use adapter 2xUSB type A to 1xUSB type
mini.
If you have a standard LCD display connected to LCD_con, Android and WIFI running the typical
consumption is around 450mA depending on the current load. While the board is in stand-by mode
it consumes a minimum of 70mA. All the three approximate values above were taken when I
applied 5V to the board.
For the European customers we sell a power supply adapter 1V/0.5A – SY0605E. We also sell USB
type A to USB mini cables if you lack such.
