Power and Connection 

Power is supplied for the N27 EVB only through external power cables. The N27 EVK provides one 
M5X0-PWR cable and one Micro-USB cable for data communication. 

3.1 

Power Supply 

The N27 EVB provides solder pads for external power cables, as shown in Figure 3-2. The input voltage 
ranges from 3.1V to 4.3V and a 3.6V regulated power source is recommended.   

Figure 3-1 

Power pads 

   

 

 

The power source supplies voltage to the module directly in this manner. Do NOT connect the pads reversely or 
use a power source exceeding the requirements. Otherwise, the module will be burned and cannot be repaired

.

M5X0-PWR Board 

M5X0-PWR board is developed on PL2303 chipset by Neoway and used to convert USB to UART. You 
can also choose another USB-to-UART cable/board based on FT2232, CP210X, and other chipsets.
