2.1.1 Power Input [J22] With LED for Status [LD2]

The dedicated power input connector is a USB Type C connector [J22] with Power Delivery 3.0 support. The input can accept wide range of input voltages (5 V to 20 V). The exact power required for the SK EVM is largely dependent on the application and the connected peripherals. The recommended supplies are listed in Table 2-1. These supplies are 20 V Type C supplies capable of supplying up to 60W of power (20VDC at 3A). The minimum supply required is 15W supply (5VDC at 3A). However, a 5 V supply may limit available processing with the processor as well as limit some of the available peripherals. USB peripherals require VBUS and depending on their power needs, may have too much voltage drop from a 5 V input supply. This is a reason higher voltage supply is recommended.

There are many USB Type C power supply manufactures and models available in the market, and it is not possible to test the SK EVM with every combination.

Table 2-1 lists a few recommended supplies the EVM has tested.
