This is not recommended because you bypass the LD1117S50CTR 5V voltage regulator and have to make sure that the voltage level is stable.View Images Library Photos and Pictures. You can also power power the Arduino microcontroller from the 5V pin. You cannot power the board with the barrel jack and VIN GPIO at the same time, because there is a polarity protection diode, connecting between the positive of the barrel jack to the VIN pin, rated at 1A. Therefore you are able to power the Uno with an external 9 Volt battery. The voltage has to be between 7V and 12V.

There is no need for a voltage regulator because the USB connection is already regulated by the USB output from your PC or laptop. The Arduino Mega can also be powered via the USB port. The maximum output current of the LD1117S50CTR is 800mA. Besides a higher input voltage than 12V has no advantage. But an input voltage between 7V and 12V is recommended to use the Arduino Mega over an extended period of time because otherwise the voltage regulator produces a lot of heat that can damage the microcontroller. The LD1117S50CTR provides a stable 5V output for the ATmega2560 and has a maximum input voltage of 15V.
