Introduction[edit | edit source]
SBC Lynx implements a complex power tree to supply NXP iMX6UL application processor and surrounding peripherals.
SBC Lynx user does not to need to fully understand the complexity of such tree. However, he/she needs to comprehend the basic structure of power supply unit (PSU) and voltage domains, in order to interface external devices and to implement add-on boards properly.
PSU structure and voltage domains organization[edit | edit source]
The following image shows the PSU structure and the voltage domains organization of SBC Lynx.
SBC Lynx in powered by one rail whose voltage is in the 5 - 24V range. This supply voltage can be provided via:
- connector J35 or connector JP1 in case it is used as standalone board
- connector J52 in case it is used as an add-on for a carrier board.
The heart of the PSU consists of NXP PF3000 PMIC that generates all of the power supplies required by the iMX6UL application processor and surrounding peripherals. For system integrator, just few of these supplies are relevant to interface additional devices. They are depicted in the image above where are denoted by red arrows. Black arrows refer to the signals instead. For each black arrow, the voltage domain is indicated. For instance, the signals routed to the connector J53 belong to IO_3.3V voltage domain. Relevant voltage domains are listed in the following table.
| Domain name | Nominal voltage [V] | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IO_3.3V | 3.3 | |
| ADC_3.3V | 3.3 | |
| CAN_3.3V | 3.3 | |
| VIN_5_24V | n/a | Dependent on main power supply voltage |
| SNVS | TBD |
Two of the supplies generated by PMIC are available to power external devices or add-on boards.
| Power supply name | Nominal voltage [V] | Maximum current [A] | Routing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AUX_3.3V | 3.3 | 1A | J54, J52+J45 | [1] |
| AUX_5V | 5.0 | n/a | J54 | [2] |
[1] Even if nominal maximum current is 1A, actual current may be limited by the current sourcing capability of the DC/DC feeding PF3000 PMIC.
[2] AUX_5V is generated by a 600mA boost DC/DC converter. As this converter powers USB devices connected to J47 and J48 - if any - and DWM WiFi/Bluetooth module (if populated), maximum current available at connector J54 can not be provided.
