STM32MP157C-DK2 maximum current 5V/3V3 pins

Hi,

I want to connect some shields/sensors to STM32MP157C-DK2. Some of the sensors will draw about 200mA. How much current can I draw from the 5V/3V3 pins on the GPIO expansion connectors?

The STM32MP157C-DK2 is powered over USB-C 5V/3A. OpenSTLinux is running on A7 and firmware on M4

regards

Lukas

Hello,

for 5V, there is no specific limit, as you draw directly from USB Type-C connector. You should just ensure the power drawn by external devices connected on the 4 x USB Type-A (up to 500mA each) added with the 5V power drawn on your expansion is lower than 5V 2A (this give a comfortable 5V 1A for the remaining of the board).

For 3.3V, supplied by STPMIC1A Buck4 rated 2A, I did not have split of power used inside the DK2, but at a first guess, up to 500mA for expansion should be ok.
