Power for extension board

3.4.2

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”

Pin number PWR header

Pin name

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.
