5. Pin Description
5.1. Pin Characteristics
1. Pin Number: Ball numbers on the bottom side associated with each signals on
the bottom.
2. Pin Name: Names of signals multiplexed on each pin No. (also notice that the
name of the pin is the signal name in function 0).
3. Type: signal direction
- I = Input
- O = Output
- I/O = Input/Output
- A = Analog
- AIO = Analog Input/Output
- PWR = Power
- GND = Ground
Pin Reset State: The state of the terminal at reset (power up).
4.
- 0: The buffer drives VOL(pull down/pull up resistor not activated)
- 0 (PD): The buffer drives VOL with an active pull down resistor.
- 1: The buffer drives VOH (pull down/pull up resistor not activated).
- 1 (PU): The buffer drives VOH
- Z: High-impedance
- L: High-impedance with an active pull down resistor.
with an active pull up resistor.
- H: High-impedance with an active pull up resistor.
5. Pull Up/Down: Denotes the presence of an internal pull up or pull down resister.
Pull up and pull down resistor can be enabled or disabled via software.
Buffer Strength: Drive strength of the associated output buffer.
