Overview
The Pmod Shield is an adapter board from the Uno R3 style shield headers present on many Digilent system boards
to Pmod. It provides the additional circuitry and connectors necessary to allow Digilent Pmods to be plugged
directly in without the hassle of messy wires and cables. The Pmod Shield has five 2×6 Digilent Pmod ports and
provides access to the I/O available via the shield headers.
1 Functional Description
The Digilent Pmod Shield follows the Uno R3 header standard but adds an additional row of headers for greater IO
access. The Pmod Shield is compatible with Arduino base boards supporting the Uno R3 standard, but is primarily
designed for use with Digilent host boards. When used in conjunction with Digilent boards, the Pmod Shield
provides the necessary supporting hardware and connectors to easily add Pmods to your design.
The Pmod Shield has the following connectors:
J1 & J3: Digital Signal Pass-Through Connectors
This connector provides most of the signals used by the host board to the Pmod Shield board. The
remaining signals are passed through the Pmod Shield.
