Since the High-Speed Pmods have 0-ohm shunts instead of protection resistors, the operator
must take precaution to ensure that they do not cause any shorts.
16 Arduino/chipKIT Shield Connector
The Arty Z7 can be connected to standard Arduino and chipKIT shields to add extended
functionality. Special care was taken while designing the Arty Z7 to make sure it is compatible
with the majority of Arduino and chipKIT shields on the market. The shield connector has 49
pins connected to the Zynq PL for general purpose Digital I/O on the Arty Z7-7020 and 26 on
the Arty Z7-7010. Due to the flexibility of FPGAs, it is possible to use these pins for just about
anything including digital read/write, SPI connections, UART connections, I2C connections, and
PWM. Six of these pins (labeled AN0-AN5) can also be used as single-ended analog inputs with
an input range of 0V-3.3V, and another six (labeled AN6-11) can be used as differential analog
inputs.
Note: The Arty Z7 is not compatible with shields that output 5V digital or analog signals.
Driving pins on the Arty Z7 shield connector above 5V may cause damage to the Zynq.
