Table 2-3. Electrical Characteristics
Electrical Parameters Value
Input voltage 5 VDC
Maximum input voltage (limits) 6 VDC
Maximum 3.3 VDC current 300 mA
CAUTION: The SAM9X60-Curiosity board runs at a 3.3V voltage level logic. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages (e.g., 5V) to an I/O pin could damage the board.
