Page 21: Power
Shown above: The Agora ON/OFF switch 3.8V is the output of the main supply on the Agora board. It is regulated by an ADI LTC3539 which receives its input from the battery voltage terminals. For Agora configurations using the LiPo battery, the battery voltage is directly fed into the input of the LTC3539. -
