Connectors

Connector Description
1 UCANPHY Micro (JST-GH 4) Devices that deliver power to the bus are required to provide 4.9–5.5 V on the bus power line, 5.0 V nominal. Devices that are powered from the bus should expect 4.0–5.5 V on the bus power line. The current shall not exceed 1 A per connector.
2 6-pin Molex (502585-0670 (opens new window), 502578-0600 (opens new window)) Contacts support up to 100 V, 2 A per contact. But the board may work only with 2S-6S.

# 2.5. Power Supply Recommendations

Device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 5.5 V over CAN2 or CAN3 connector, or 5.5 - 30 V from CAN1. This input supply must be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
