1.4 Power-Supply Requirements and Connections
To set up the EVM, ensure that VSYS (3.3 V to 5 V) is connected to the pin labeled VSYS of P16, and
that GND is connected to the pin labeled GND of P16.
1.4.1 VIO Selection
As mentioned in Table 1 , there are two 12-pin headers (P12 and P15) for selecting the voltage to use for
the VIO supply voltage of the PMIC.
CAUTION
It is important to make sure that there is a total of one shunt populated between
P12 and P15. If there is a shunt on P12, there should not be one on P15 and
vice versa. Also, there should never be more than one shunt on either P12 or
P15. Violating this requirement will short two PMIC outputs together, which
could potentially damage the PMIC device.
Power for the MSP430 and the two fixed voltage LDOs (3.3-V and 1.8-V outputs) is supplied through the
USB connection, as shown in
Figure 2 .
