17.1 Shield Digital I/O
The pins connected directly to the Zynq PL can be used as general purpose inputs or outputs. These pins include
the I2C, SPI, and general purpose I/O pins. There are 200 Ohm series resistors between the FPGA and the digital
I/O pins to help provide protection against accidental short circuits (with the exception of the AN5-AN0 signals,
which have no series resistors, and the AN6-AN12 signals, which have 100 Ohm series resistors). The absolute
maximum and recommended operating voltages for these pins are outlined in the table below.
