NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX DG-09693-001_v1.7 | 11
Chapter 5. Power
Power for the module is supplied on the VDD_IN pins and is nominally 5.0V (see the Jetson
Xavier NX Data Sheet for supply tolerance and maximum current).
CAUTION: Jetson Xavier NX is not hot-pluggable. Before installing or removing the module, the
main power supply (to VDD_IN pins) must be disconnected and adequate time allowed for the
various power rails to fully discharge.

VDD_IN − Main power – Supplies PMIC and other regulators Main DC input Input 5.0V
235 PMIC_BBAT −
PMIC Battery Back-up. Optionally used to provide
back-up power for the Real-Time-Clock (RTC).
Connects to Lithium Cell or super capacitor on
Carrier Board. PMIC is supply when charging cap
or coin cell. Super cap or coin cell is source when
system is disconnected from power. Charging is
enabled by default in software. If non-rechargeable
battery is to be used, charging should be disabled.

237 POWER_EN
(PMIC EN0
through
converter logic)
Signal for module on/off: high level on, low level
off. Connects to module PMIC EN0 through
converter logic. POWER_EN is routed to a Schmitt
trigger buffer on the module. A 100kΩ pulldown is
also on the module.
