3.1 Power Supply

The following are the list of sources to power the PIC32 WFI32 2.0 Curiosity HPC Board:

  • External supply connector 5V (J201)
  • USB Type-C® connector (J206)

The following table lists the power supply source details and its jumper positions.

Power InputDescriptionJumper Position (J202)(1)
External supply connector 5V (J201)(2)Connect the PIC32 WFI32 2.0 Curiosity HPC Board to an external 5V power supply2-1
USB Type-C® connector (J206)Connect the Micro-A male to USB Type-C cable to the USB debug port for power supply4-3 (default)
Note:
  1. Jumper (J202) in Figure 3-3
  2. The maximum input voltage from the external 5V supply must not exceed 5.5V. Applying a supply voltage higher than 5.5V can damage the board.
The following figure illustrates the jumper positions that power the PIC32 WFI32 2.0 Curiosity HPC Board.
