I am so happy that the Jetson release the super mode for Orin series. And I flash it into my Orin nx 16g with custom carrier board from seeed’s J4012. I test it with MAXN\_SUPER mode with both CPU and GPU full loaded. And the total system power reached 40W. But when I look into the Product Design Guide from [Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson Orin Nano Series Product Design Guide](https://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/embedded/secure/jetson/orin_nx/docs/Jetson-Orin-NX-Nano-Design-Guide_DG-10931-001_v1.4.pdf? __token__ =exp=1737613073~hmac=1a2ef35f8d04a93d10b42c00854134a2a678fd65b99af27b492dbcf86371f92c&t=eyJscyI6ImdzZW8iLCJsc2QiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nb29nbGUuY29tLmhrLyIsIm5jaWQiOiJzby1saW5rLTE5MDg3NS12dDQ4In0=). I find it require minimum 8V to the VDD\_IN. And I the current voltage of my carrier board’s VDD\_IN is 5V. But it seems that the system works fine till now. I am wondering about the reason why we need to change the voltage of VDD\_IN to 8V if we work with Orin nx 16g in Super mode. Looking forward to you reply~ ---

Hi, the module can not bear current more than 5A. So it must be higher than 8V for VDD\_IN for super mode with 40W power consumption. ---

Can someone explain more about the device tree changes for the new super mode? I can see in the super mode device tree sources for the Orin NX modules (SKU0-4) that the VDD\_IN regulator is still limited to 5V, so how does NVIDIA allow the devkits to reach higher voltages on the VDD\_IN line with this new version? Does it have to do with the adjustments to `oc_throttle` or `bjt_offsets` in the `soctherm` of the bpmp dtb? ---
