Power management
The FRDM-CR20A development board must be powered through the edge connectors from the Freescale
Freedom development platform board that it is plugged into. The FRDM-CR20A power management
circuit is shown in
Figure 8
.

The two-pin header J6 provides the means to supply current to various board components and current
measurements if desired. The red LED marked as LED1 is available as a power indicator. The power
header/0 ohm resistor provides the means to supply either the IC or board circuits. Current measurements
can be made by inserting a current meter in place of a designated jumper. Connections configurations are
described in
