SMARC-iMX8M Computer on Module User’s Manual v.1.0
4.1.2. No Separate Standby Voltage
There is no separate voltage rail for standby power, other than the very low
current RTC voltage rail.
SMARC‐iMX8M
operating and standby power
comes from the single set of
VDD_IN
pins. This suits battery power sources
well, and is also easy to use with non‐battery sources.
4.1.3. RTC/Backup Voltage
RTC backup power is brought in on the
VDD_RTC
rail. The RTC consumption
is typically 15 microA or less. The allowable
VDD_RTC
voltage range shall be
2.0V to 3.25V. The
VDD_RTC
rail is sourced from a Carrier based Lithium cell,
or it may be left open if the RTC backup functions are not required.
SMARC‐iMX8M
module is able to boot without a
VDD_RTC
voltage source.
Lithium cells, if used on Carrier, shall be protected against charging by a
Carrier Schottky diode. The diode is placed in series with the positive
battery terminal. The diode anode is on the battery side, and the cathode
on the Module
VDD_RTC
side.
Note that if a Super cap is used, current may flow out of the Module
VDD_RTC
rail to charge the Super Cap.
4.1.4. Power Sequencing
The Module signal
CARRIER_PWR_ON
exists to ensure that the Module is
powered before the main body of Carrier circuits (those outside the power
and power control path on the Carrier). The main body of Carrier board
circuits should not be powered until the Module asserts the
CARRIER_PWR_ON
signal as a high. Module hardware will assert
CARRIER_PWR_ON
when all Module supplies necessary for Module booting
are up.
The IO power of carrier board will be turn on at the stage of power on
sequence. If the IO power of carrier board been turn on earlier than the
SMARC
module, the power on carrier board might feedback to
SMARC
