It looks like Max-N is the same as “max clocks” in the table two-thirds down that article, where the highest power consumption of the model is shown as 12.8W.
However, that article doesn’t look normative to me – it shows “typical” values and nobody has yet managed to get nVIDIA to provide an official, worst-case, maximum number.
Comment from is that users of Jetson TX2 don’t have an official worst case TDP number (and the max-P/max-Q TDP numbers shouldn’t be taken as normative). I don’t think that the comment was intended to be an answer to my questions.
Below are the extracts from the first blog referred in my initial comment which I interpret to be the TDP envelopes of Max-Q mode to be 7.5W and Max-P mode to be 15W:
“Jetson TX2 was designed for peak processing efficiency at 7.5W of power. This level of performance, referred to as Max-Q”
“Max-P, the other preset platform configuration, enables maximum system performance in less than 15W”
I am asking for a similar max TDP envelope for Max-N mode from NVIDIA. I suppose it would have to be derived from characterization across several Jetson TX2 boards.
Hi, I am also trying to figure out the power that would be required for the board. I am mounting this on a robot and haven’t yet chosen a battery. I have a ZED camera that requires 5V/380mA connected to this at the USB3.0 port, a multisense S7 camera powered separately that is connected to this via the Gigabit ethernet port and VLP-16 lidar that also needs to be connected to a 100Mbps ethernet connection. Please help me out with the connections and power that would be required for this. Thanks
