Theconnector Pin #1 is marked with a white square in the silkscreen pattern on the PCB.ConnectorNameSignalNameSupply Rangeand LimitsOptionJumperNamePower optioning descriptionImportant: Note carefully the differingpin #1 positions on each jumperCON1 USB USB host limited n/aPower is normally supplied entirely from the USB host.Series diodes will substitute power from the greater ofeither P1 or from J26 if either source is greater than5Vdc from the USB host.P1 5vDC Center Pin =Positive (+V) 0.0Vdc to 5.5Vdc n/aNote: There is no jumper for this option.

Itshould be noted that the voltage supplied via USB is nominally 5Vdc. However, this voltagesupplied by the external USB host may be significantly less, especially if driving a loudspeaker athigh volume using the device on the daughter card.With most USB host devices and USB cables, it is not possible to achieve the full rated 1-Watt ofloudspeaker power using only USB as the power source. Additionally, long or poor quality USBcables can cause the EVB to operate unreliably. The USB cable used with the EVB should be ahigh quality product and not longer than 1-meter.If the primary purpose to use alternative power is to drive the speaker output to the full ratedpower, it is preferred to simply substitute an external supply for VDDSPK via J36. EVB operationis simpler if the main 5Vdc power other than for VDDSPK is supplied from the USB host.
