Power domains description

Neutis N5 has Allwinner H5 in its core. This processor has several power domains that should be taken into account.

Domain Description
CORE_POWER_IN Power supply for ARM core
VDD_CPUFB Pin for monitoring actual core voltage
VDD_IO Power supply GPIOs and digital interfaces I/O buffers
3V3_IN Power supply for eMMC, DDR, Wi-Fi, PLL, USB, HDMI, EPHU, AUDIO
VDD_RTC_IN Power supply for RTC, PORT_L, security system

Supply voltage

For Neutis to power up, we need to supply voltage to these domains. CORE_POWER_IN domain voltage depends on the processor frequency. The higher the voltage, the higher power consumption is.

Note

Refer to p.685 of Allwinner H5 datasheet for more information.

Domain Min Typ Max
CORE_POWER_IN 1,0V 1,4V
VDD_IO 3,0V 3,3V 3,6V
3V3_IN 3,24V 3,3V 3,36V
VDD_RTC_IN 3,0V 3,3V

Warning

A higher core frequency requires a higher voltage on CORE_POWER_IN

Core Power CPU frequency
1,0V 408MHz
1,04V 648MHz
1,1V 816MHz
1,12V 912MHz
1,2V 1008MHz
1,24V 1104MHz
1,29V 1200MHz
1,34V 1296MHz

Warning

It is recommended to use a heatsink for stable CPU operation
