This tutorial walks you through the power domain of UNO Q, with emphasis on the three main rails, 5 V, 3.3 V and 1.8 V. You will learn how the 5 V input gets accepted and diode-OR'd, converted into the 3.8 V pre-regulator node, and then regulated into the 3.3 V, and how the PMIC generates all the other power rails from the 5V input, including the 1.8V rail.

We will also cover the components that convert, protect and route these rails, including the safe voltage and pin-level limits you need to know.

The UNO Q accepts a 5 V input over USB-C® or a 7–24 V input on DC input using the VIN pin (`DC_IN`), which is step-down converted to 5 V. These two sources are **diode-OR** combined into the system 5 V bus (`5V_SYS`).

From the 5 V system bus (`5V_SYS`), the board generates a 3.8 V pre-regulator node (`PWR_3P8V`). This node is the supply for the 3.3 V converter (`PWR_3P3V`).

The PMIC also uses the 5V system bus (`5V_SYS`) to produce the board's exported 1.8 V rail (VREG_L15A_1P8V) and the internal processor and memory rails. `PWR_3P8V`, that is connected to `VBAT`, is reserved for system design and future features. The USB VBUS back-drive path is sourced from the 5 V system bus (`5V_SYS`) and is separate from the PMIC input path.

UNO Q supports dual power inputs: a USB-C port and a 7-24V DC input. Through USB Power Delivery negotiation, the board requests a **5 V / 3 A** contract only and does not request higher-voltage PD profiles. Use a supply and cable rated for 5 V at 3 A so short activity peaks, for example wireless bursts or display bring-up, do not cause connector droop.

UNO Q supports multiple power inputs: a USB-C port and a 7-24V DC input. Through USB Power Delivery negotiation, the board requests a **5 V / 3 A** contract only and does not request higher-voltage PD profiles. Use a supply and cable rated for 5 V at 3 A so short activity peaks, for example wireless bursts or display bring-up, do not cause connector droop. A regulated external 5 V DC source can also be used to supply power to the board via the 5 V pin on the JANALOG header.

`USB-C VBUS` and the 5 V output of the 7–24 V buck are **diode-OR'd** into the system 5 V bus (`5V_SYS`). The VIN (`DC IN`) path feeds a step-down converter to 5 V and its output goes through a Schottky rectifier to the same `5V_SYS` node. From `5V_SYS`, the board outputs the 3.8 V pre-regulator node and subsequently the **3.3 V** rail described below.

**Diode-OR'd** refers to connecting multiple power sources through diodes, which selects the higher voltage source while preventing reverse current flow.
