To summarize, here is a practical checklist to follow when you are ready to create your and PCB layout:

If you have a specific board marked with "E214852" or similar next to the 94V-0 mark, that is an for the PCB manufacturer, not the circuit designer. CM4 IO Board: PCB is different than the schematic

Finally, he plugged the board into the test rig. He held his breath, his finger hovering over the power switch.

The CM4 utilizes a dedicated Dialog (now Renesas) DA9091 PMIC. The schematic shows a single +5V input rail. The PMIC takes this 5V and steps it down into several critical voltage rails: : For general GPIO and peripheral power. +1.8V : For internal SoC logic and memory signaling. +1.1V : For the Broadcom BCM2711 processor core.

Demystifying CM4 94V-0 Schematics: A Guide to Troubleshooting and Custom Carrier Board Design

| Block | Critical Details | |-------|------------------| | | 5V @ 2.5A+ (peak), good decoupling (100nF + 10µF near each CM4 power pin). Use PMIC like DA9061 or MPM3630 . | | HDMI | ESD protection (e.g., USBLC6-2 ). Keep differential pairs <2mm length mismatch. | | USB 2.0 | 22Ω series resistors, common-mode choke (optional but wise). | | PCIe (if used) | AC coupling caps (0.1µF) on TX lanes, reference clock routing. | | MIPI DSI/CSI | Strict impedance control (100Ω diff). Length matching within 0.5mm. | | SD Card (if on carrier) | Pull-ups on CD/DAT3, series resistors on CMD/CLK. | | ETH (if using CM4’s PHY) | Magnetics with center tap decoupling. |
