The symmetrical tuning (see Fig 8) improves the transfer function compared to the
standard “asymmetrical” tuning and thus allows to use a higher system Q factor, which
results in a higher field strength. The disadvantage of the loading effect, which causes
an increased current ITVDD, is compensated with the PN5180 Dynamic Power Control
(DPC, for details refer to [4]).

2.3 Jumper settings
Three jumpers can be used to evaluate the different power supply options:
J101: either external or USB power supply (default)
J303: either VBAT = 5V or 3.3V (default)
J300: closed (default) or to measure the ITVDD
Fig 9 shows the default jumper settings for operation powered via USB.
Fig 10 shows the jumper setting for the operation externally powered.
