Powering On

This document describes different ways that you can power your LattePanda. It will cover the input specification, what you will need, and installation steps.

Overview

2 Ways to Power Your LattePanda in Different Application Scenarios

  • Official USB Type C PD adapter that comes with the LattePanda 3 Delta - Recommended;

or Other USB Type C PD adapter or power bank of the same specification

  • 12-volt input from JST PH2.0-4Pin connector

Power Supply Priority

LattePanda prefers to use the power supply of the port which has a higher voltage.

For example, if the USB Type-C port is powered by 15V, and the JST PH2.0 4Pin port is powered by 12V, the power supply of the USB Type-C port will be used first. If the power supply of the USB Type-C port is accidentally cut off, LattePanda will automatically switch to the power supply of the JST PH2.0 4Pin port. When the power supply of the USB Type-C port is restored, LattePanda will automatically switch to the power supply of the USB Type-C port. During power switching, LattePanda operates normally without unexpected power outages.

If both ports are powered by 15V, the power supply of both ports will be used at the same time.
