CURIOSITY NANO
3.3
Power Supply
The board is powered through the USB port and contains two LDO regulators, one to generate 3.3V for the on-board
debugger, and an adjustable LDO regulator for the target microcontroller ATtiny1627 and its peripherals. The voltage
from the USB connector can vary between 4.4V to 5.25V (according to the USB specification) and will limit the
maximum voltage to the target. The figure below shows the entire power supply system on ATtiny1627 Curiosity
Nano.
