Jetson power modes, module by module, JetPack by JetPack.
Dataset 2026-09-07 · verified 2026-09-07 · last updated September 2026
Every row is an NVIDIA nvpmodel preset copied from the Jetson Linux Developer Guide "NVP Model Clock Configuration" tables or the module datasheet, with mode ID, power budget, default marker and maximum clocks. The envelope is a separate fact: a wattage inside it that is not listed needs a custom nvpmodel.conf. JSON with sources: power-modes.json.

S = exists only with the Super flash configuration. Check what your board has: sudo nvpmodel -q (current) and nvpmodel -p --verbose (all presets); switch with sudo nvpmodel -m <mode ID>.
Super mode: what enables it
Super presets exist only when the board was flashed with the jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super (or -super-maxn) configuration. NVIDIA (June 2026, JetPack 7.2): the ISO image cannot upgrade a device from non-Super Mode to Super Mode; flash from an x86 host (SDK Manager) or fix /etc/nv_boot_control.conf so TNSPEC/COMPATIBLE_SPEC carry the -super suffix.
- Flash configuration:
jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super(or-super-maxn). Boards flashed with the standard configuration show only the standard presets. - SDK Manager / x86 host: supported. ISO image (JetPack 7.2): cannot move a board from non-Super to Super; symptom is only 7W/15W in the power-mode menu.
- Verify:
/etc/nv_boot_control.confTNSPEC and COMPATIBLE_SPEC must end in-super.

Ids you may see elsewhere that are not presets
EdgeAIStack calculators and older guides published these wattages before they were checked against NVIDIA's tables. They still work in the calculators, labelled as below.
| Id | Status | Nearest preset | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40W | custom nvpmodel required | 70W | Below the only T4000 wattage preset (70W); needs a custom nvpmodel.conf. |
| 90W | legacy unverified | MAXN | 90 W is the T4000 TMP limit, not a preset; presets are 70W and MAXN. |
Wattages that are not presets
NVIDIA: "To add a custom power mode definition, edit this file: /etc/nvpmodel.conf" and "Refer to Power Estimator for more information about estimating the power and generating the nvpmodel configuration file for the custom power mode." The Module Power Calculator computes a budget for any wattage inside the envelope but labels it custom nvpmodel required; MAXN and MAXN_SUPER have no budget at all and throttle only on the thermal limit (Thor: TMP 130 W on T5000, 90 W on T4000).

Size the power draw at a preset.
The Module Power Calculator applies these presets to your workload, cameras, storage and cooling, and flags any mode that is not an NVIDIA preset.
