NVIDIA Jetson TX2/TX2i OEM Product Design Guide
JETSON TX2/TX2i OEM PRODUCT | DESIGN GUIDE | 20180618 10
1. Power efficiency is higher when the input voltage is lower, such as 9V or 12V. At very low voltages (close to the 5.5V
minimum [TX2 only], the power supported by some of the supplies may be reduced).
2. These pins are handled as Open-Drain on the carrier board.

3.1 Supply Allocation
Table 6 Internal Power Subsystem Allocation
Supplies various switchers & load switches that power
the various circuits & peripherals on the module
Source for some DSI/CSI blocks
Supplies various LDOs & load switches that in turn
power the various circuits & peripherals on the module
Tegra Real Time Clock/Always-on Rail
Tegra PCIe / USB 3.0 / SATA rail
VDD_1V8_AP (&
VDD_1V8_AP_PLL)
This is the Tegra supply, and should not be confused with the module VDD_RTC pin which is the supply that connects to the
PMIC BBATT pin to keep the Real-Time Clock powered.
