Power Supply (VCC)
The MAX4983E EV kit can be powered by the P1 USB
port (through the 3.3V LDO) or by an external power sup-
ply (VIN). The on-board MAX8511 linear regulator (U2)
provides the regulated 3.3V from the USB bus voltage
(5V) provided at P1. To evaluate the board with an exter-
nal supply, configure jumper JU3 according to Table 4.
On-Board VBUS Power Switching
The EV kit includes a power-switching circuit, designed
with n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs, that routes the
P1 USB bus voltage (V1) to the P2 or P3 USB ports. The
power-switching circuit is controlled by the state of the
CB control pin, which is set through jumper JU1. See
Table 5 for operation.
