Power supplied development board through interface connectors, wall mount power supply bench laboratory supply. Regulated power supplied development board through interface connectors when card inserted into PC/104 backplane, slot using PC/104 adapter card. wall mount power supply laboratory power supply used supply regulated power through power connector J10. Constellation FLEX development board supports both 3.3V 5.0V components. on-board, drop out, 3.3V regulator provides power FLEX (U2) Configuration EPROM (U3). When 3.3V part used, voltage must jumper selected placing shorting jumper between appropriate pins JP5. illustration below shows jumper position required 3.3V 5.0V parts respectively. 3.3V Operation PC/104 bus, recommended wall mount power supply, provide correct voltage safe operation Constellation FLEX development board. Caution should exercised when using laboratory bench-top supply, since over-voltage reverse current protection provided circuit card. 240-pin Power Quad Flat Pack, housing FLEX die, dissipates heat generated die. However, power dissipation dependent upon several design specific factors, such flow rate, ambient temperature. Therefore, highly recommended that Power Evaluation Worksheet completed compare maximum power allowed estimated power consumption. Power consumption reduced using 3.3V parts. Heat sinks added improve thermal dissipation.
