USRP N210 Power Supply Missing Specification

[noubs]

Hello,

The USRP N210 is listing a 5.9V 4A DC power supply, this means 23.6W at the source.

In Combination with the 40MHz UBX Daughterboard, Ettus recommends a 24W PS(see note on UBX page), this means the initial PS is out of spec!!!

I my current mobile application I won't need it anyway, but please help me get the specification for a power supply, since the Datasheet of the USRP does not give the maximum ratings.

Can the USRP N210 support a 5V power supply?

So we would still have to provide the 24W/4.8A isn't it? Here it is much easier to find components on the market than 6V/24W.

Same question for a  6.5V source?

Thanks for your precious time.

Dear Noubs,

The typical voltage level required for N210 is 6V. Depending on the Doughetbords used the current consumption may differ. Please check the Specifications Section in the document: https://www.ettus.com/content/files/07495_Ettus_N200-210_DS_Flyer_HR_1.pdf

Regarding max/min Voltage specs, I don't think they are precisely defined, therefore I suggest using the desired power supply. If you really want to go out of typical specs, the below thread and answer given there may be helpful:
