Peripheral Connectors
The Nexys2 board provides four two-row 6-pin Pmod connectors that together can accommodate up
to 8 Pmods. The four 12-pin connectors each have 8 data signals, two GND pins, and two Vdd pins.
All data signals include short circuit protection resistors and ESD protection Diodes. A jumper block
adjacent to each Pmod connector can connect the Pmod’s Vdd signal to the Nexys2 board’s 3.3V
supply or to the input power bus (VU). If the jumper is set to VU and USB power is driving the main
power bus, care should be taken to ensure no more than 200mA is consumed by the Pmod. Further, if
the jumper is set to VU, a voltage source connected to the Pmod can drive the main power bus of the
Nexys2 board, so care should be taken to avoid connecting conflicting power supplies.
The Pmod connectors are labeled JA (nearest the power jack), JB, JC, and JD (nearest the expansion
connector). Pinouts for the Pmod connectors are provided in the table below.
More than 30 low-cost are available for attachment to these connectors. Pmods can either be
attached directly, or by using a small cable. Available Pmods include A/D and D/A converters, motor
drivers, speaker amplifiers, distance measuring devices, etc. Please see
