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
