5.2.10 Current Measurement Header

An angled 1x2, 100-mil pin header marked with the MCU current measurement is located at the upper edge of the SAM E54 Xplained Pro. All power to the ATSAME54P20A is exclusively routed through this header (excluding power to headers and peripherals). To measure the power consumption of the device, remove the jumper and replace it with an ammeter.

CAUTION: Removing the jumper from the pin header while the kit is powered may cause the ATSAME54P20A to be powered through its I/O pins. This may cause permanent damage to the device.
