Intel® Edison breakout board expansion USB interface
The Edison module has a single USB 2.0 interface. This interface is the primary method for downloading code.
Edison is design to support OTG, using the ID signal. J16 is a microAB USB .

Intel® Edison breakout board expansion power supply
Intel® Edison is a low-power device. In general, it does not draw more than 200 mA with 600 mA short duration
spikes during Wi-Fi transmit. Therefore, an Intel® Edison device may run on USB power (when configured as a
device), or an external power adapter from 7 to 15 V.
spikes during Wi-Fi transmit. Therefore, an Intel® Edison device may run on USB power (when configured as a
device), or an external power adapter from 7 to 15 V.
Power from the external power adapter goes to a DC-DC converter and down-converted to 5 V. The 5 V rail is
diode ORed with the USB VBUS rail. This power goes to a battery recharger IC, which limits the output voltage to
4.4 V. This voltage is in the safe range for the Edison module VSYS. The VSYS power range is 3.15 to 4.5 V. This
allows VSYS to run off a standard lithium-ion battery. The charger IC is configured to limit the input power to 1. The
charger is programmed to charge at 190 mA. This charger is designed to charge standard lithium-ion batteries with
4.2 V maximum charging voltage. You are responsible for choosing a suitable battery and following all safety
precautions, to prevent overcharging or charging when the battery temperature is too high.

The drawback to this design is that the linear supply power drop places a limit on the total power through the Intel®
Edison board and the 3.3 and 1.8 V supplies. The power loss through the charger will be (4.4 to 5 V) • current. In this
