signals (pins 5 and 11), and eight logic signals, as shown in Fig 20. The VCC and Ground pins can deliver up to 1A of
current. Pmod data signals are not matched pairs, and they are routed using best-available tracks without
impedance control or delay matching. Pin assignments for the Pmod I/O connected to the FPGA are shown in Table
6.

Digilent produces a large collection of Pmod accessory boards that can attach to the Pmod expansion connectors
to add ready-made functions like A/D’s, D/A’s, motor drivers, sensors, and other functions. See
10.1 Dual Analog/ Digital Pmod
The on-board Pmod expansion connector labeled “JXADC” is wired to the auxiliary analog input pins of the FPGA.
Depending on the configuration, this connector can be used to input differential analog signals to the analog-to-
digital converter inside the Artix-7 (XADC). Any or all pairs in the connector can be configured either as analog
input or digital input-output.
The Dual Analog/Digigal Pmod on the Nexys4differs from the rest in the routing of its traces. The eight data signals
are grouped into four pairs, with the pairs routed closely coupled for better analog noise immunity. Furthermore,
each pair has a partially loaded anti-alias filter laid out on the PCB. The filter does not have capacitors C60-C63. In
designs where such filters are desired, the capacitors can be manually loaded by the user.
NOTE: The coupled routing and the anti-alias filters might limit the data speeds when used for digital signals.
The XADC core within the Artix-7 is a dual channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter capable of operating at 1
MSPS. Either channel can be driven by any of the auxiliary analog input pairs connected to the JXADC header. The
