3.4 Electrical Characteristics
Figure 2 PCOM-B883VG2 Power on sequence
⚫ Input Power Sequencing
COM-HPC input power sequencing requirements are as follows:
- VCC_RTC should come up at the same time or before VCC_5V_SBY comes up
- VCC_5V_SBY should come up at the same time or before VCC comes up
- RSMRST_OUT# should come up when the Module standby rail(s) are stable
- VIN_PWR_OK should be active after VCC is stable
- VIN_PWR_OK should be inactive at the same time or before VCC goes down
- VCC should go down at the same time or before VCC_5V_SBY goes down
- VCC_5V_SBY should go down at the same time or before VCC_RTC goes down
Figure 3 Input Power Sequencing
(Reference from COM-HPC® Module Base Specification)
- Power signals
Signals VIN_PWR_OK, RSTBTN#, and PLTRST# shall be supported for all COM-HPC Modules. Signal VIN_PWR_OK indicates that all the power to the Module is stable within the specified range and can be used to enable Module internal power supplies.
On COM Express designs, the VIN_PWR_OK line is used to hold off a CPU boot to allow off Module devices such as large FPGAs enough time to be configured. This method should not be used on COM-HPC designs. An alternative method, pausing the Module boot by BIOS code monitoring the RSTBTN# signal.
Some input signals such as PWRBTN# and RSTBTN# may require debounce and ESD protection components on the Carrier board.
Please refer to the COM-HPC Carrier Board Design Guide for details.
3.5 Power Consumption
The power consumption values were measured with the following condition:
- ATX power supply
- PCOM-B883VG2 module
- PCOM-C880 carrier
- PCOM-B883VG2 standard cooler
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC
The power consumption values were recorded during the following methods:
- S0 Idle: 12v current, boot into Windows desktop and idle for 5 min
- 100% Workload with turbo: The average 12v current during 100% workload
- Peak Current: The maximum 12v current during the beginning of turbo mode running
- S3: 5v standby current, wait 5 min later after system into sleeping status
- S5: 5v standby current, wait 5 min later after system into shutdown status
