3.3.1 Power Management
The 1323x-MRB power management circuit is shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8. 1323x-MRB Power Management Circuit
Power to the 1323x-MRB can be configured in several ways and the circuit has the following features:
Board can be supplied through the IO headers (V_BRD)
Board can be supplied from an external DC supply (J5)
The external supply can be unregulated (V_UNREG) and make use of the onboard 3.3 V LDO
regulator
The external supply voltage can be used directly without use of the LDO
8-Pin 2x4 header J9 provides means to supply current to various board components and also
measure current if desired
Green LED D1 is available as a power indicator.
Table 3-2 shows the header configuration information for the various power supply modes.
NOTE
The Freescale 1323x-RCM and 1323x-REM development boards
generate the system power supply on the motherboard and supply the
voltage to the 1323x-MRB through the V_BRD pin of Headers J2 and
J3. In this mode, the current flows to the 1323x-MRB through the pins.
If an external supply is used via 1323x-MRB header J5, current flows to
the motherboard through the V_BRD pin of Headers J2 and J3. THE
MOTHERBOARD SUPPLY SHOULD NOT BE USED.
In all modes, the IO voltage supply of peripherals on a motherboard
must be the same voltage as V_BRD, which is also the voltage applied
to the IC MC1323x.
