 The Multicomper’s 5V regulator is fed via the 2-pin header from the dev board’s power socket. There’s a 3.3V regulator on the dev board board for the FPGA and the supply on the DC socket needs to be increased to at least 7V if a standard (non low drop-out) ‘7805’ is used on the Multicomper. During testing, the DC input was raised from the 5V default to 12V to confirm that the 3.3V regulator was happy, however YMMV might vary according to the quality of the part fitted.
