Target Board S3A3 (TB-S3A3) User's Manual Power requirements TB-S3A3 is designed for 3.3 Volt operation. Please note that this also means that 5V PMOD devices cannot be used together with the TB-S3A3 unless they are powered separately. The total current available from the LDO regulator for all connected circuits is 0.600A or less, depending the 5V power source used.

Target Board S3A3 (TB-S3A3) User's Manual Additional features Analog reference voltages A footprint for installation of capacitors C21 and C23 is provided on the Target Board. These two capacitors provide noise-bypass capability for ports P010/P011 and for ports P012/P013. See Figure 21 for the circuit design. Port pair P010/P011 may be assigned as GPIO, where bypass capacitor C21 would damage signal quality.
