Version: 1.0.0 | 31 Mar 22 Power The Atlas board is designed to accept a 5Vdc input which it then regulates down to 3.8V for the target cellular module (U2: TPS56x209). The 5Vdc input also directly powers the nRF52840 MCU, leveraging its internal regulator functionality to achieve a system voltage of 3.3V (VDD_nRF).
R24/P1.06. The input signal line is tied high by a 10k resistor and debounced with a small capacitor. Pushing the button is an active-low signal. Embedded Planet, Inc. | 31225 Bainbridge Rd Suite N, Solon, OH 44139 | 216-245-4180 | www.embeddedplanet.com | Page 12 of 37...
