Arduino Nano power options
Hi
I have some feedback / question:
Someone was asking about powering an Arduino nano in #general-help so I tried to look it up to give them the actual true information.
https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-nano
- Tech specs table on store page says "7-12V"
- FAQ on the same store page says: "6-20V unregulated external power supply (pin 30),"
- Datasheet says on page 2: "7-15V unregulated external power supply (pin 30)"
- Datasheet says on page 7: "VIN | Range 5V-12V"
What?
Imho this is extremely confusing for beginners (and me). I know that the range of those voltage regulators isn't 100% fixed but depends on temperature, how many amps you pull or things like that. But if you give 4 different voltage ranges, I think it would be nice to at least have some explanation. Like "absolute limits" vs "recommended". Even then I think it's really weird to have four different ranges (without explanation) in different places of the documentation.
So what's actually the minimum/maximum and recommended?
