Re: NVIDIA Jetson TK1
Thanks for the info. I personally probably wouldn't go the automotive ATX route. Those are typically used for CAR PC/infotainment systems with heavy power usages, which is why they are so expensive. I would be surprised if you could find one under 100 watts which is overkill for this application.

I was thinking more along the lines of a custom power circuit with one of these at the heart, if power conditioning was required (I think is will be).

$10 - http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...PBF-ND/3074261


$11 - http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...FCT-ND/3885241

I haven't down selected between the two, or even done an exhaustive search, but these two chips should provide more then enough power to support the Jetson TK1 at full performance on an FRC bot.

When I get around to it, and have a time to compare the features of these and other chips I will pick one, but at the moment I am leaning more towards the LED driver chip.

This is a more pocket friendly and application specific alternative then an ATX power supply
