3.3V Suspend/3.3V
3.3V Susped Output
Power supply for Carrier Board SPI – sourced from Module –
nominally 3.3V. The Module shall provide a minimum of 100mA on
SPI_POWER. Carriers shall use less than 100mA of SPI_POWER.
SPI_POWER shall only be used to power SPI devices on the Carrier

3.3V / 3.3V
Output indicating that a watchdog time-out event has occurred.
FAN_PWNOUT B101
O OD
CMOS
3.3V / 12V
Fan speed control. Uses the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) tech-
nique to control the fan’s RPM.
FAN_TACHIN B102
