4.9.3.3. Arduino Power

There are several power rails on the Arduino connectors.

  • IOREF: 3.3 V for digital IOs. It must be 3.3 V. 5 V is forbidden as it may damage devices on the board.

  • VCC_3.3V: 3.3 V power generated by the Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board.

  • VCC_5V_AR1/2: 5 V power from the Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board.

  • ARDUINO_AREF: Reserved analog reference voltage. Care must be taken that the range can be 0 ~3.3 V. 5 V is forbidden.

When using Arduino connector, USB may not provide sufficient power so we suggest you use external adapter connector (J12) to power up the board.

Arduino UNO* R3 did not specify limitation of output current capability. The following table shows the maximum output current for the Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board.
