5V input on POWER1, POWER2, USB C, and the USB JST-GH connector
Input is prioritized in the following order: POWER1 > POWER2 > USB
USB C and the USB JST-GH are in parallel
Overvoltage protection at 5.8V
Undervoltage protection at 3.9V
VDD_5V_HIPOWER and VDD_5V_PERIPH can each provide a total of 1.5A across all the connectors
There are two LEDs on the ARK PAB
Red is the ethernet power LED
Green is the ethernet activity LED
