Procedure
To achieve the best performance, follow the procedure below.
Step 1.
Test the power supply.
The on-board DC-DC buck converter provides a supply voltage V
DD
starting from an external V
IN
DC
source. The V
DD
voltage is available on an external pin. It supplies the internal voltage regulators LDO
3V3 and LDO 1V8. These regulator outputs are available on an external pin. The
generate its own power supplies directly from the V
IN
.
The aim of this test is to ensure that the
is correctly powered. The table below shows the
reference range.
