have downloaded the schematic of the DP256 evaluation board and found adjustable voltage regulator (U8=LP2951) in the circuit. The DP256 contains internal voltage regulator - can he not do the job alone? Why is this regulator adjustable? Are there any other valid core supplies than 2,5Volt? |

The external voltage regulator for the core supply was put on the DP256 EVB for initial silicon evaluation (in case the internal voltage regulator didn't work). On all currently available silicon, the internal voltage regulator should be used. If an external regulator is used, the core voltage should remain within the published electrical spec ratings.
