The LaunchPad is designed to be powered from the LaunchPad EM Debug Probe via the LP-EM Debug connector, or from an external power supply connected to the GND and the 3V3 pin header. There is also support for 5V on the pin header, but this is not required or used for LaunchPad operation. When powering from the LaunchPad EM Debug Probe, the device supply voltage is fixed at 3.3V. When powering externally, care must be taken to keep the board voltage within its operating range (1.8V to 3.6V).
Note: even though the CC2340R53 supply voltage ranges from 1.8V to 3.8V, the maximum voltage of the LP-EM-CC2340R53 is limited by the XDS110 level shifters at 3.6V.
Additional details about how to power the LaunchPad are shown in the Hardware and Debug Setup section below.
