How can I get switched 5V supplied from nrf9160dk?

[rkguy]

I would like to see if I can get 5V switched from the DK. Is this possible?

I see the 5V rail on the diagram but I didn't find the documentation to describe it.

I can supply whatever power to the board that is needed.

I suppose that I could use a GPIO to close a high-side switch, fet, or relay but I want to understand what I am dealing with. Thanks!

Hi,

This pin will carry a 5V output if the DK is powered from USB or you apply 5V to P28 or P15. In other words, the power is the same as the supply that is powering the kit. The 5V is not regulated on the DK.

Best regards,
Kenneth
