5 Electrical Specification

5.1 Power Requirements

The Radxa X4 supports the following power input:

・ USB Type‑C PD Version 2.0 with 12V/2.5A.

・ It can also be powered through a PoE HAT.

The recommended power source should be able to produce, at least, 18W without power
consuming devices on USB or 25W with full USB ports load.

5.2 GPIO Voltage

GPIO Voltage Level Tolerance

All GPIO 3.3V 3.63V

6 Operating Conditions

The Radxa X4 can operate normally within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.

Its BIOS factory settings limit the CPU power consumption (Power Limit 1) to 6W. Simi‑
larly, the Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the Intel® Processor N100 is also 6W. This implies
that under the high‑load workload defined by Intel®, the processor operates at its base fre‑
quency with all cores active, resulting in an average power consumption of 6 watts.

7 Peripherals

7.1 GPIO Interface

The Radxa X4 provides a 40‑pin GPIO expansion header through the RP2040, which is widely
compatible with a variety of accessories developed for the SBC market.
