about the power module v3
-
Hi, i am designing a custom regulator circuit for a VOXL 2 board. Is there any possibility that the regulator IC on the power module v3 could be shared here? One of my team members have previously asked about the specifications needed for a regulator powering the VOXL 2, so further clarification would be great.

Hi @Tormod-Axelsson-Hagen
Our descriptions tell you all you might need to know to make your own power module:-
2-6S tolerant (so VIN capable of up to ~25.2V+)
-
6A output at 5V
-
Current monitoring if you do not use our ESCs (our ESCs provide a current reading to keep PX4 and other autopilots happy and for accurate remaining battery %)
-
Connector format of your choosing but the Molex 4-pin MINI SPOX is the direct 1:1 for VOXL 2 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/0022057045/403343?s=N4IgTCBcDaIAxzGOBWA7HALCkBdAvkA

- If you want to make this flexible for VOXL 2 Mini, make it capable of generating 3.8V and use the MOLEX MICRO ONE family of connectors https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/2059720041/13235081?s=N4IgTCBcDa4AwFYCcB2Mc4BYCMIC6AvkA)
The rest is up to you based on your design intent and supply chain constraints and preferred vendors.
Hope this helped! -
