Pinout diagram

• What is a pinout diagram?


It is a cross-reference between the pins of an electrical
connector and their functions

Arduino pinout Diego Sánchez de Rivera 5


Pinout diagram

Pinout diagrams can


represent:
 The chip
 The whole board

Each board has a different layout

Each board has a different pinout

Pinout diagram examples
• You can find pinout diagram for each board, here are some examples

Power pins
• Power pins are related to voltage input and output
Power the board and drain current with a selected voltage is possible

• Powering the board • Recommended and max. ratings


– USB connector (They vary between boards, always check datasheet or pinout
diagrams!!!)
– Plug-in socket connector
– Input voltages:
(When available)
• Most Arduinos: 7-12V(rec), 6-20V(max)
– Vin pins (Also accts as – DC current per I/O pins:
external voltage output) • Arduino UNO: 20mA(rec), 40mA(max), 200mA(Total)
– 5V pins (Only regulated • Arduino Mega: 10mA(rec), 20mA(max), 200mA(Total)
power supply) • Arduino Nano: 20mA(rec), 40mA(max), 200mA(Total)

• Reset button: Pressing the push button momentarily to reset the board

GND pins
• GND pins are the common ground for all remaining pins
All GND pins are interconnected

*Some boards have multiple GND pins!

Analog pins
• Boards offer analog inputs and reference voltage pins

• Analog Ref (AREF) • 5V, 3V


It’s the reference voltage to compare the Acting as outputs, they supply a reference
maximum voltage range in analog pins voltage to others devices

• Analog I/O
– Analog input
Each board has several analog inputs commonly used to read data from analog
devices.
Resolution: 10bit (1024 states)
– Analog output
Only Arduino Due has an DAC chip that allows writing true analog value
Although, creating a simulated analog signal can be performed with PWM.

Digital pins
• Digital I/O pins are used to interact with external devices or circuits
User can activate or deactivate each pin to 0V or IOREF
• IOREF • RESET
It is the reference voltage to the high state Driving the maximum voltage to this pin
on the digital pins (usually 3V or 5V) reset the Arduino board

• Digital I/O
– Digital input
In each digital port, user can read the current state of the pin, whether it is in the
LOW state (0V) or HIGH state (IOREF).
– Digital output
As reading, each digital pin can write a specific state to its output, LOW or HIGH.

As a previous step, it is necessary to stablish the function mode of each pin


OUTPUT or INPUT (w/o pull-up)

PWM pins
• Some digital pins can enter into PWM mode
PWM, is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a
square wave, a signal switched between HIGH and LOW.

• PWM signal is a digital square wave, where the


frequency is constant, but that fraction of the time
the state is HIGH (the duty cycle) can be varied
between 0 and IOREF.

Frequency: 490Hz (default)


Duty Cycle: 0 – 100%

• It is possible to change the PWM frequency, but affects the


internal timers and disrupts the normal operation of many
functions that rely on time (delay(), millis(), …).

Additional function pins
• Special pins on each board allow more specific operations
Serial, I2C, SPI connections and interruption signals are handled with specific pins
in the Arduino board

• Interrupt pins
Arduino has two different kinds of interrupts: “external”, and “pin change”.
Uno and Nano boards has two external INT pins, mapped to pins 2 (INT0) and 3 (INT1).
Others boards offer more than two INT pins.
• Serial ports
Each serial port (noted RX, TX) allows a serial connection with the Arduino.
The number of available serial ports depends with each board.
A special library allows create a virtual serial using two digital pins (SoftwareSerial.c)
Will be explain in
• I2C pins following chapters
SCL and SDA are the only two pins needed to provide I2C communication.
• SPI pins
MISO, MOSI, SCK and SLAVE are the required pins to provide the SPI bus.
