EVAL6470H-DISC supply voltage

In UM1691 rev2, paragraph 4.5.1 "Sanity check of the board with firmware for the GUI", it says "Connect the board to a 5 V - 45 V DC power supply". So I connected it to a 6V PSU, but the board does work properly. What is wrong?

In fact, the PSU must be in 8V-45V range. Unfortunately, this is a typo on this particular page of the user manual :crying_face:. The voltage range is correctly stated "8-45V" elsewhere in the UM, so a 12V power supply would be good, for example.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will correct affected page in next release of UM1691.
