Header J13 provides means to disable different sub-circuits or measure current and connections are
described in Table 3-3. Current measurements can be made by inserting a current meter in place of a
designated jumper.

Description
V_RF 1 - 2 Supply voltage to MC12311 -Radio die
• Normally jumpered
• Supplies only the MC12311 Radio die
Normally always same voltage as V_BRD
V_BRD 3 - 4 Supply voltage connected to IO Connectors J2 and J3 -
• This supplies J2 and J3 if an external MRB supply is used
• This voltage supplies the MRB if the motherboard is the main power
• This connection is normally always jumpered
V_IC 5 - 6 Supply voltage to MC12311 -MCU die
• Normally jumpered
• Supplies only the MC12311 MCU die
• Normally always same voltage as V_BRD
V_LED 7 - 8 Supply voltage to power indicator LED
• Jumper to use indicator or IR blaster
• Leave open for lowest power
