Notes and naming conventions:

  • All pins are tolerant to 3.3 V unless otherwise noted.
  • Unused digital outputs should be left unconnected.
  • Unused digital inputs should be connected to GND_D if not specified otherwise. 
  • Unused analog inputs should be connected to 1.65V_REF. 
  • "_P" and "_N" suffixes indicate positive and negative terminals of differential signals.
  • "\" Indicates inverted (active low) signal.
  • "NC" means Not Connected. Pins marked with NC can be tied to GND or 3.3 V, but the best practice is to leave them unconnected.
  • "DNC" means Do Not Connect. Pins marked with DNC must not be tied to any driving voltage, including GND or 3.3 V.
  • "CLL" means Connect to Low Level. Pins marked with CLL must be tied or pulled-down to 0 V.
  • "CHL" means Connect to High Level. Pins marked with CHL must be tied or pulled-up to 3.3 V.
