3 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The following section provides functional details of the key sub-systems implemented on the baseboard.
3.1 Processor Module
The baseboard supports the Orin NX / Nano module. NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX brings AI supercomputer
performance to the edge in a compact system-on-module (SOM) which is smaller than a credit card. Jetson Orin
NX is built around a low-power version of the NVIDIA Orin SoC, combining the NVIDIA Ampere™ GPU
architecture with 64-bit operating capability, integrated advanced multi-function video and image processing, and
NVIDIA Deep Learning Accelerators, loaded with 16 GB of memory and 102 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It
features a variety of standard hardware interfaces that make it easy to integrate it into a wide range of products
and form factors.
3.2 Power Supply
The board can be powered from wide input voltage range of +7V to +20V for full feature.
The maximum allowable ripple, measured at the voltage input connector is 50mV p-p.
All required supply voltages for the board are derived from +(7V-20V) input. These power supplies must be sized
to support the highest capacity on-board memory and have enough reserve capacity to support the below add-on
features.
Orin Nano module requires fixed 5V input supply. Orin NX module supports 5V to 20V wide input voltage.
Jackson board is designed for 7V to 20V wide input voltage and based on the output signal ‘MODULE_ID’ from
module, the required input voltage is supplied to the module through load switches.

Note: Input voltage can be lowered to 7V (7-20V input range) as a custom option. Contact DSC for this option..
3.3 Ethernet
The base board provides two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, one directly from the module and second 10/100/1000
Ethernet port is derived from the Intel WGI210IT PCIe Ethernet controller. This controller is accessed via x1 PCIe
lane from the Orin NX / Nano module which is also muxed with the expansion connector used to plug expansion
cards. Either the second ethernet port or expansion cards are supported by the base board.
The ethernet ports are terminated on 2x R/A RJ45 MagJack connectors. Connectors are equipped with LINK and
ACT LEDs on the front.
