When external peripheral or add-on boards need to be powered, we recommend the use of an exter- nal power adapter connected to a J2 DC Jack (can provide up to 1.2A on the 3.3V node).  2019 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002884A-page 2...
Page 3: Power Up The Board
The recommended output voltage range of the power adapter is 5V at 2A. • Powered through the Arduino shield Unlike Arduino Uno boards, the SAMA5D3 Xplained board runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that WARNING the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages (e.g. 5V) to an I/O pin could damage the board.
