Applying Power to the Board
The MachXO5-NX Development Board comes ready to power up with onboard DC/DC switching regulators and Low
Dropout (LDO) generators powered by an external 12 V DC power source. The external power supply can be connected
with the DC power input jack J17, which is fused with a surface mounted fuse U10. The 1.25A fuse prevents the crashed
current from flowing into the internal circuits and cause serious damage. 12 V DC power also supply Arduino Header J4
and FX12 headers U4/U5 for the board extension, as shown in

Figure 2.1. Board Power Supply
The onboard 5 V power regulator U11 provide 90% power convert efficiency from 12 V when output current between
50 mA and 3 A. It is distributed to 3.3 V, 2.8 V, 2.5 V LDOs and 1.0 V regulator through one side of slide switch SW6 to
support onboard devices. Through another side of SW6, this board can also take the 5 V power from USB header J11 as
well, for some low power application. It is user’s responsibility to ensure all 5 V power rails on board consume less than
500mA per PC’s USB port output capability when take power from J11.
For the board extension, 5 V DC power can also supply FX12 adapter, Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards through the
jumpers and onboard headers, to consolidate AC/DC adapters for stack boards system. Conversely, 5V DC power can
be either supplied from mated boards with correct jumper settings. However, maintain the 5 V DC power is the basic
requirement to bring up this board, by quick check the power good blue LED D18.
The onboard 1.2 V and 1.8 V LDOs take the power from 3.3 V and 2.5 V LDO correspondently.
