Hi, I am working on integrating a Jetson TX1 plus carrier board with a mobile robot platform. Available to me are a 19V/2A DC supply and a 12V/5A DC supply. I’m having trouble finding exact information on the TX1’s power draw, but I’ve noticed that the TX1’s AC power adapter supplies 19V, and is ra…

This has been a popular topic in another thread. The gist is that rated power can include the maximum power draw of: PCIe slot. SATA slot. USB ports. Camera. …so the JTX1 itself will draw considerably less than 90W. I don’t know exact numbers, but you might try measuring power draw while running …

When using the TX1 devkit out of the box (without connecting additional peripherals), in practice you’ll see a power draw of 15W at the high end (running a resource-hungry compute benchmark like nbody). And on typical mixed workloads, between 6-10W is a typical number and at idle, 1-2W. In the lab…

I see, thanks. I thought it would probably be under my 48W limit but I guess if I’m serious about not risking anything then I should probably ensure that there is a working current limiter anyways. For the record I plan to be using a stereo camera off of the USB and the SATA slot as peripherals.

I am someone in Nvidia can help clarify a some questions on the Jetson TX1. Per the Jetson TX1 module datasheets, Nvidia specifies the following operating requirements: TX1: Temp Range: -25C - 80C Module Power: 6.5W - 15W For the TX1 module power numbers, can Nvidia clarify what scenarios (i.…

Power range is only for module, it could be used by customer to evaluate the whole product power. No need to know the detail test methods of it.

Hello Trumany, Can you clarify how Nvidia came up with the power numbers listed in the TX1 module datasheet then? Thanks!

These power numbers are tested in some preset conditions, you can refer to the web links in this topic: [url] https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1009283/tdp-in-max-n-mode/[/url]

Hi, I am also trying to figure out the power that would be required for the board. I am mounting this on a robot and haven’t yet chosen a battery. I have a ZED camera that requires 5V/380mA connected to this at the USB3.0 port, a multisense S7 camera powered separately that is connected to this via …

Hi rajravi,

Please refer to OEM DG for each part connections design. The total power is decided by your external devices plus module. As you can find see in previous discuss, the power of module is 6.5W~15W.
