30-pin Header

The 30-pin header is a 2 x 15 row of 2.54 mm pins along the same edge of the board as the U.2 connector. It carries GPIO, I²C, I²S, SPI, CAN, ADC, PWM and USB 2.0 signals, and 5 V and 3.3 V supply outputs. The pin table below lists what each pin carries.

Electrical Limits​

warning
  • Signal pins are 3.3 V. Do not connect 5 V logic directly.
  • The ADC inputs, SARADC_VIN6 (pin 26) and SARADC_VIN7 (pin 24), accept at most 1.8 V.
  • The I2C5 lines have no pull-up resistors on the board. Add external pull-ups sized for the number of devices and the bus speed.
  • The 5 V output (pin 1) and the 3.3 V output (pin 30) are each fused at 500 mA.
