Arduino Due Without Headers

The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU.

It is the first Arduino board featuring a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller.

It offers 54 digital input/output pins, 12 of which can be used as PWM outputs, 12 analog inputs, 4 UARTs, and a clock speed of 84 MHz.

The board also includes USB OTG, 2 DACs, 2 TWIs, a power jack, SPI and JTAG headers, a reset button, and an erase button.

Warning: The Arduino Due operates at 3.3V. Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin may damage the board.

The board supports micro-USB power or AC-to-DC adapters/batteries. It's compatible with Arduino shields that work at 3.3V and adhere to the 1.0 Arduino pinout.

The Arduino Due can be powered either via the USB connector or an external power supply (AC-to-DC adapter or battery).

External power supply can come from:

• An AC-to-DC adapter connected to the board's power jack
• Battery leads connected to the GND and VIN pin headers

The board can operate with an external supply of 6 to 20V, but the recommended range is 7 to 12V.

• Vin: Input voltage from the external power source
• 5V: Regulated 5V from the board's regulator
• 3V3: 3.3V supply generated by the on-board regulator (max current: 800 mA)
• GND: Ground
• IOREF: Voltage reference for the microcontroller to operate.
