  • Page 7: Evalboard Description

    Optional external power supply The 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go EvalBoard is supplied via the USB cable. It is also possible to provide an external power supply. If this is the case, a few considerations must be taken into account as described below.
  • Page 8: Pin Header Connector

    TLE493D-A2B6 MS2GO 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go evaluation kit EvalBoard description It is not recommended to apply an additional power supply to the V pin of X1 (3.3 V) when the board is powered via USB, because the 3.3 V supply could drive against the on-board power supply. The V pin can be used to power an external circuit.
