Electrical Parameter Value
Input voltage 5 VDC
Maximum input voltage 6 VDC
Maximum 3.3 VDC current 300 mA
CAUTION: The SAMA7G54-EK 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.
