1.2 Electrical and Board Characteristics

This section contains information about the PL460-EK power supply requirements and consumption. Additionally, this section contains a table with the main board characteristics.

The PL460-EK board has two voltage supplies:
  • +3.3V from Xplained PRO connector to power the low voltage domain of PL460
  • +15V from the DC jack to power the PL460 amplification stage
