Power Control (CM-i.MX27)
Power Control is handled by the MC13783 power management IC (PMIC).
Input voltage
Connect any voltage between 6V and 12V DC to the power plug of the DEV-i.MX27/35 board.
Power up/down
- Power up
- The core modules is automatically powered up if the input voltage is supplied.
- If the board is in power off mode (e.g., after a shutdown in Linux), hit button PON on the DEV board to power up the board.
- Power down
- Shutting down Linux powers sets the PMIC in User Off mode, i.e., all PMIC voltages and the processor are powered off after shutdown is complete.
- We measured a power consumption of about 0.5 Watts in this mode.
