Jetson Orin Nano Input Voltage

Hi all,

I would need to know if I can power the Jetson Orin Nano carrier board with an input of 5V.
In the official documentation is mentioned in Page 3 that the input voltage range is 9-20V, but in page 27, in the section regarding PoE, an input voltage range of 5-20V is also mentioned.
Is it another circuit? Can I still power the carrier board from the main jack using 5V? Are there downsides?

Kind regards,

Fabio

For Orin Nano module, it is 5V only. You can power carrier with 5-20V supply but power module with 5V only.

Hi Trumany,

We have just tried today to power it with 5V using the DC Jack, but it does not seem to work.

According to this diagram the input should just enter in GS9230 DC-DC which accepts an input range of 3 to 28V. Do you have any idea why it is not working?

Thank you for your support,

Fabio

Is it Orin nano devkit or custom carrier? How did you supply the board, please share a photo?

Hi Trumany,

It is the Orin nano devkit. Here you can see a picture of the setup.

Can it work with other level, like 9V or others?

What’s the value if you probe the point of DC jack on board?

We can change input voltage, but we should change AC-DC converter and we would like to avoid if possible, especially if the carrier can be powered at 5V. We tried at 19V with another power supply and it works fine. The measurement at the DC Jack is still of 5V.

Checked again that 9V~20V is the range. You can see in the GS9230 data sheet that the VAIN range is 6~28V and VAIN_UVLO is 5.5V. VAIN is tied to VIN. So 5V can not be used for devkit carrier supply.
