  • Page 13: Power

    R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0 6.1 Power The R41Z Evaluation Board has three possible power sources: USB, a CR2032 coil cell, and a 0.1” through-hole connector. These sources are OR’d together with protection diodes to prevent reverse voltage to any supply. These allows for more than one source to be connected at a time. For example, a coil cell battery may remain connected to the board while the board is being debugged with the USB source connected.
  • Page 14: R41Z Power Modes

    R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0 6.1.1 R41Z Power Modes The Rigado R41Z module contains a DC-DC converter that allows it to operate in a variety of power environments. The R41Z Evaluation board supports all these operating modes, which are summarized below:...
  • Page 15: Power Configuration Switch

    R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0 6.1.2 Power Configuration Switch The power configuration switch allows easy and quick adjustment of most power settings on the R41Z Evaluation Board.
