Arduino UNO Pinout Diagram and Pin Configuration Explained
For electronics projects DIY projects, the Arduino UNO is a very useful device. It is built based on the ATmega328P microcontroller. Its architecture is based on 8-bit AVR technology. It comes in two versions - one consists of a 28-pin DIP package microcontroller while the other one consists of a 32-pin quad flat package microcontroller. In this article, we are going to see the pin diagram of Arduino UNO consists of a 28-pin microcontroller.
Here, you can see the Arduino UNO pinout diagram.
Power Supply Pins
There are three ways to provide a power supply to this board - 1. Through Barrel Jack 2. Through USB Port 3. Through Input Pins
It is designed to operate at 5V DC voltage and the input voltage range is 6V-20V. It is recommended to provide a power supply to this board from 7V-12V.
The barrel Jack helps to provide power to the board through an adapter. Using a wall adapter by connecting to the barrel jack we can provide a power supply.
When we connect the Arduino board to the computer through the USB port, the computer will provide the power supply to the board at 5V, 500mA.
The power also can be given through the pin 'Vin' and a 'GND' pin, but the voltage should be within the range.
GND Pin: The Arduino UNO has a total of five Ground(GND) pins all are interconnected to each other. Both power input and output purpose ground pins can be used.
5V and 3.3V: It also has a 5V pin and a 3.3V pin to power the external component or device connected to this board.
RESET and IOREF: The Reset pin is used to reset the Arduino. The IOREF or Input/Output Reference pin provides the reference voltage to operate the microcontroller.
Analog Input/Output Pins
The Arduino UNO has a total of 6 analog pins and they are connected through Analog to Digital Converter(ADC). Using these pins we can give analog signals to the Arduino board or take analog signals from the board. These analog pins are identified as PC0, PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5
Digital Pins
Pin 0 to 13 are the digital pins through which digital signal can be output or input. Digital pins are those that help for the transmission of digital signals such as 0 or 1 bits. When the voltage is below 0.8V it is considered as 0 and when the voltage is above 2 it is considered as 1 and the value between this range is considered as undefined. Each of these pins is capable of handling up to 40mA current but it is recommended to use up to 20mA current only.
The pin no 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11 are also capable of handling PWM(Pulsed Width Modulation) Signals. It is a technique to encode a message into a pulsating signal. The pulse width technique works by varying frequency and duty cycles.
ICSP Pins
ICSP means In-Circuit Serial Programming. These pins are used for the programming of the Aurdino Board. The programmer can connect the Arduino board to a programming device through these pins and can program the firmware of the Arduino board.
