Dedicated high current power circuit
Provides two different voltage rails which both can deliver high current levels:
o
V_PWR:
Is the voltage level of the power adapter limited to 1.2A. A little voltage drop lower
than 1V will be caused by the protection circuit.
o
3V4:
A 3.4V power rail made by a dedicated power circuit which is used on the main board but
also accessible by the expansion boards
Low power circuit generated by the micro controller
Provides three voltage rails for very limited power:
o
3V3:
A 3.3V power rail provided by the micro controller is used on the mainboard but also
accessible to the expansion boards
o
1V8:
A 1.8V power rail provided by the micro controller and only used on the main board
o
1V2:
A 1.2V power rail provided by the micro controller and only used on the main board

both expansion cards. (The
sum of both expansion
