Hardware description
4.3.4 nRF5340 power source
The nRF5340 DK has a power source switch (SW9) for selecting between VDD (default), Li-Po, and USB
power supplies for the nRF5340 SoC.

Figure 12: nRF5340 DK power source switch
The nRF5340 SoC has a high voltage buck regulator that can support up to 5 V input. In the VDD position,
the SoC is powered from the onboard buck regulator, coin cell battery, or external supply (P21). In the Li-
Po position, the high voltage regulator of the SoC is supplied directly from the Li-Poly battery connectors
(J6 or P27). In the USB position, the USB high voltage regulator is powered by thenRF5340 USB connector
(J3).
When the high voltage regulator is used, the VDD_nRF voltage can be set by SoC firmware. To make sure
the rest of the DK has the same voltage level, the VDD of the DK is sourced by a regulator following the
VDD_nRF voltage when the high voltage regulator is used.
