Page 26: Internal Power Circuits
1.2.6.1. Internal Power Circuits The voltage applied by the power adapter to the CloudGate is converted into different voltage rails on the main board. Two different power circuits make five different voltage rails. Dedicated high current power circuit Provides two different voltage rails which both can deliver high current levels: V_PWR: At the power adapter input of the CloudGate there is an overvoltage protection circuit and a current limiter of 1.2A. - Page 27 translators, e.g. output buck between I/O signals converter (3V3, 1V8 from the processor and 1V2). The and circuitery on the maximum output main board or on current capability of the expansion cards each output of the converter is dependent on the loads on the other two outputs.
