Hi! Is there a reason that specs on Hardware page say that maximum current for 3.3 DC pin on Uno and Mega 2560 is 50 mA not 150 mA? Using LP2985 as 3.3V regulator should provide 150 mA... Since this is my first post :wink: I can not add links to hardware pages :slight_smile: but on both is: DC Cu…

The data was carried over from when arduino used the FTDI chip to provide the 3v.
