Xplained Pro power header
The power header can be used to connect external power to the SAM4N Xplained Pro kit. The kit will
automatically detect and switch to the external power if supplied. The power header can also be used as supply
for external peripherals or extension boards. Care must be taken not to exceed the total current limitation of the
on-board regulator for the 3.3V regulated output. To locate the current measurement header, please refer to
Figure 1-1, “SAM4N Xplained Pro evaluation kit overview”

Description
1
VEXT_P5V0
External 5V input
2
GND
Ground
3
VCC_P5V0
Unregulated 5V (output, derived
from one of the input sources)
4
VCC_P3V3
Regulated 3.3V (output, used as
main power for the kit)
Note
If the board is powered from a battery source it is recommended to use the PWR header. If there
is a power source connected to EDBG USB, the EDBG is activated and it will consume more
power.
