The ultra fast 2MHz current mode DC/DC architecture optimizes the transient
performance and is compatible with tiny low cost ceramic inductors and capacitors.
All DC/DC channels include integrated MOSFETS. Internal soft-start and
compensation circuits minimize external components count. Most outputs can be
programmed through the I2C interface

The RK805 integrates internal RC oscillator for low cost application which without
RTC function.

Memory (DRAM)

The ROCK960 Board provides 2GB(model A) or 4GB(model B) LPDDR3-SDRAM
which is a 2-channel and 32bit width bus implementation interfacing directly to the
RK3399 build-in LPDDR controller. The maximum DDR clock is 933MHz. It’s
soldered on board and not replaceable.

Storage

The ROCK960 Board provides an 16GB(model A) or 32GB(model B) EMMC which is
compliant with EMMC 5.1.

Micro SDHC

The ROCK960 Board SD slot signals are routed directly to the RK3399 SDIO
interface. It meets the SD3.0 standard.

Boot ROM

The ROCK960 Board can boot up from the EMMC or the Micro SD card. If a
bootable Micro SD card is inserted, ROCK960 will boot from Micro SD card and
ignore the EMMC. If the Micro SD card is not inserted or non-bootable(ie. as storage
media). The ROCK960 will try to boot from EMMC. If there is no bootable image in
EMMC, the board will go to Maskrom mode and wait for USB command from host.
