NuMaker-M258KE Power Supply Configuration The NuMaker-M258KE is able to adopt multiple power supplies. External power sources include NU1 Vin (7 V to 12 V), V (depending on the target chip operating voltage), and PC through USB connector. By using switches and voltage regulator, multiple power domains can be created on the NuMaker- M258KE.
NuMaker-M258KE 3.4.3 3.3 V Power Sources Table 3-7 presents the 3.3 V power sources. Voltage 5 V Source Description Regulator ICEUP1 converts USB_HS_VBUS to 3.3 V and ICEUP1 USB_HS_VBUS supplies 3.3 V to M258 target board or ICE chip. UP1 converts USB_VBUS to 3.3 V and supplies 3.3 V to M258 target board.
