3 Ways to Power Your LattePanda in Different Application Scenarios

Warning

1.In these 3 ways, the acceptable power input range is 12V to 20V. Please ensure the voltage does not exceed 20V.
2.Please use the power adapter with at least 90W or more, otherwise the LattePanda Sigma may suddenly shut down when the processor is under high load.

  • Provided DC power adapter via 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC Jack

  • USB Type C PD adapter

  • JST PH2.0-8Pin connector

Power Supply Priority

The PD adapter and DC adapter can be connected at the same time. LattePanda prioritizes using the connector with the higher voltage for its power supply.

The prority is that:
USB Type C(Rear) > USB Type C(Front) > DC Jack = PH2.0-8Pin connector.
The power supply with high priority will be used first.

Powered by 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC Jack

Input Specifications

When the LattePanda is placed inside a device, you can use this connector to power it through the internal wiring of the device.

The middle four pins are the positive. The pin mapping is marked on the bottom with '+' and '-’, which means four negative pins and four positive pins.

The pins of the JST PH2.0-8Pin connector are directly connected to the pins of the DC Jack, which means that when the DC Jack is connected to a power source, the power from the DC Jack can be output via the JST PH2.0 connector.
