Page 13: Power Interfaces
Power interfaces DC-in jack connector A 5V DC-in power jack connector (J4) provides power to the entire ConnectCore 8X SBC Pro system. An overvoltage circuit protects the SBC from voltages higher than 6.5V (up to 12V). Behind the overvoltage protection, a 5V load switch (U2) controls the power delivered to the SBC. The enable pin of the power switch is controlled through 5V_SBC_PWR_ON signal from the CPU (GPIO0_13). -
Page 14: Supply Connector
Together with the 5V supply connector, another 2-pin, 1.25 mm pitch straight connector is supported on the ConnectCore 8X SBC Pro providing a regulated 3.3V supply for powering external circuitry. The 3.3V power supply is generated on a buck regulator of the ConnectCore 8X PMIC (3V3_EXT power rail), which is also used on-board for powering many interfaces of the ConnectCore 8X SBC Pro carrier board. -
