Note: If an I2C interface is routed to an M.2 Key E or M.2 Key M socket, it is recommended that
0Ω series resistors be included on the lines. If the design will be used with WiFi modules that
require I2C then the 0Ω series resistors would be installed. However, the WiFi modules must be
fully spec compliant and not hold the I2C lines low during boot, which could interfere with
communications with other devices on this I2C bus and possibly prevent the system from
booting.
11.1.1 I2C Design Guidelines
Care must be taken to ensure I2C peripherals on same I2C bus connected to Jetson TX2 NX do
not have duplicate addresses. Addresses can be in two forms: 7-bit, with the read/write bit
removed or 8-bit including the read/write bit. Be sure to compare I2C device addresses using
the same form (all 7-bit or all 8-bit format). The I2C2 interface is connected to an EEPROM on
the module which uses I2C address 7’h50. The CAM_I2C interface is connected to the power
monitor device on the module which uses I2C address 7’h40.
Notes:
• The Jetson TX2 NX I2C interfaces have 2.2kΩ pull-ups on the module. Pads for additional pull-
ups are recommended in case a stronger pull-up is required due to additional loading on the
interfaces.
• The I2C pad LPMD bit is set by default for the I2C[2:0] pins, but not for the CAM_I2C pins. These
settings can be changed if necessary, to improve signal integrity.
