YesThe datasheet mentions that the maximum current consumption of the CM5 module is 900 mA. However, the power supply adapter provided for the CM5 carrier board is rated at 5 A, and the USB-C CC pins also negotiate at 5 A.See CM5 datasheet.
Does this mean that the CM5 module alone draws up to 900 mA at full operation, and the remaining 4.1 A is consumed by the carrier board?
You are the designer I have no idea on your design.For a custom carrier board design, do we need to provide a 5 A power source as well?
The CM5IO board is mainly connectors so it depends on what you connect. The CM5IOboard by itself doesn't really consume any significant power compared to the CM5.Is there a detailed power consumption breakdown or table available that lists the current requirements of each peripheral on the carrier board? This would help us determine how much current is needed for each component and design our power supply accordingly.
