Digital I/O	16 max with no Analog, Each can be input or Output (shared with Analog)
Input Impendence	Analog/Digital - The input consists of a 470K pull-up to +5V and a series resistance of 1K to the uP. Interrupts - The input consists of a series resistance of 1K to the uP. More info - input Schematic.
Analog inputs	16 max with no Digital, 10-bit resolution (shared with Digital)
Digital/Analog as inputs	3 dB bandwidth of 150 kHz, weak pull-up of 470k-ohms to 5.0 volts, need 0.0 to 0.6 volts for a low and 4.0 to 5.0 volts for a high
Interrupts as inputs	3 dB bandwidth of 150 kHz, weak pull-up of 47k-ohms to 5.0 volts, need 0.0 to 0.6 volts for a low and 4.0 to 5.0 volts for a high
Digital/Analog Interrupts as Outputs	As outputs these ports can drive an open circuit to 0.6v or lower for a low and 4.0 volts or higher for a high. They can drive a 1 mA load to 1.6v or lower for a low and 3.0 volts or higher for a high.
PWM Outputs	As outputs these ports can drive an open circuit to 0.6v or lower for a low and 4.0 volts or higher for a high. They can drive a 1 mA load to 1.0v or lower for a low and 3.6 volts or higher for a high.
Digital input Freq.	50 KHz (typical)
Analog input Access	10 μSec
Motor Output	8 PWM Outputs for motors or servos, refreshed every 18.5mSec
Serial Ports	TTL (115Kb) - Serial Port and TX/RX on Digital/Analog port
