3.5 Power Management

Figure 3-7 shows the power supply tree. A wide input voltage DC/DC buck converter to generate the 5V rail. A power module then generates 3.3V from 5V, which supplies 3.3V signal chain such as INA241A and so forth. Optionally the 3.3V supply rail can also power the MCU LaunchPad.
