If I tie the two 3.3V pins together, can I draw 0.333mA or just 250mA?? I'm using 3 thermistor sensors at 0.11mA each so I'm wondering if I'm going to blow my board. Many thanks for some knowledgable input!! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this mes

Graff: I think you are confusing Amperes (A) and milliAmperes (mA). You need to understand the difference and then re-run your calculations. I doubt that three thermistors, each drawing a fraction of a milliAmpere would overload a 250 milliAmpere supply. --- Graham == On Sunday, March 5, 201

When you read the service reference manual, section 8.6, you find that the VDD_3V3B at P9 pins 3 and 4 can source 250 mA max. On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 12:38:13 AM UTC+2, Robert P wrote: > > Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to power an xbee off > the 3.3V header on the bbb (

Tying them together will not increase current capacity. They both come from the same place on the board, the power supply device itself.. Gerald On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 9:46 AM, wrote: > If I tie the two 3.3V pins together, can I draw 0.333mA or just 250mA?? > > I'm using 3 thermistor sensors

Those numbers are for each pin, so 500 mA total. On 5/27/2014 2:04 AM, PLyttle wrote: > When you read the service reference manual, section 8.6, you find that the > VDD_3V3B at P9 pins 3 and 4 can source 250 mA max. > > On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 12:38:13 AM UTC+2, Robert P wrote: >> >> Hi everyo

I doubt that. The pins are connected together. Also: 6.1.9.2 VDD_3V3A Rail The VDD_3V3A rail is supplied by the TPS65217C and provides the 3.3V for the processor rails and can provide up to 400mA. 6.1.9.3 VDD_3V3B Rail The current supplied by the VDD_3V3A rail is not sufficient to power all of

thanks everyone, so I guess the answer is yes? xbee uses 215ma max, so it looks like it's safe On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 9:03:18 AM UTC-4, PLyttle wrote: > > > I doubt that. The pins are connected together. Also: > > 6.1.9.2 VDD_3V3A Rail > The VDD_3V3A rail is supplied by the TPS65217C and prov
