Arduino MEGA Pinout Diagram

Current totals follow the current allowed by the different ports.

  1. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20mA at VCC = 5V, 10mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
    conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:

ATmega640/1280/2560:
1.)The sum of all IOL, for ports J0-J7, A0-A7, G2 should not exceed 200 mA.
2.)The sum of all IOL, for ports C0-C7, G0-G1, D0-D7, L0-L7 should not exceed 200 mA.
3.)The sum of all IOL, for ports G3-G4, B0-B7, H0-B7 should not exceed 200 mA.
4.)The sum of all IOL, for ports E0-E7, G5 should not exceed 100 mA.
5.)The sum of all IOL, for ports F0-F7, K0-K7 should not exceed 100 mA.
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater
than the listed test condition.

That totals 800mA. There is nothing that says if you draw 200mA in one group that you then can't draw it in another.
So this thinking of only 200mA total is nonsense.

Similar numbers apply to the 328 & 1284.

LOL, we've had this same discussion before.

There is nothing that says if you draw 200mA in one group that you then can't draw it in another.

There is also nothing stating that you can take the sum, of all those individual port limits, as the maxiumum chip current draw limit. And no where in the datasheet does it state that 800 ma of total current draw is allowed. And of course as I've stated before the absolute maximum section lists the 200 ma figure. Why would they state 200ma there if it only applied to one port? Your assumption, and it is just an assumption, is in error, IMHO.

But that is why I would like others to comment on the subject, as you and I. while still respectful of each other's opinion, have not been able to come to consensus on the matter now or in the past.

Lefty

They state the Vcc and Gnd PinS are 200mA. Do you suppose they use wimpier wire in a 2560 vs a 328 so that only 200mA is allowed? I think not.

ATMega 2560 Pinout is on line on first post.
New version of Arduino MEGA.

Suggestion:

once you are done.. create a post/thread that has all your work collectively posted?

(maybe even a sticky once done?) :wink:

Shortly I make a collection...
...and a big poster :smiley:

Hello!

I Love your work and the help you give us !!! Thank you

May I would suggest to add the PIN numbers as they are printed on the PCB (you did this on the UNO Reference), this would be easier to use if you don´t screw your Arduino to the printout :wink:

Thanks in advance

Matthias

Thanks!
As soon as I have some time.

excellent stuff
well done, sir!

A new version is online.

This is really beautiful work. Thanks for taking time to do this.

Thanks again! :grin:

Really nice and amazing work ! congrats !

Thank you very much for sharing this.

Nice work! And not only for a beginner :slight_smile:

Wow, love your work! Printing this out as we speak (as reference when using my home made mega)! Thank you mate!!

Thank you very much!
Any plans to work on other variants of the Mega2560 such as the Seeeduino Mega that break out the extra pins?

thanks a lot - again !

NEW VERSION 2.0 online (on 1st post)

very good

For some reason, clicking on the download link takes me to a 404 page on your website (non existent) ... I'm assuming you've been moving things around on your site? The same thing is happening with the Uno thread. Specifically I'm looking at larger format (or formats that will scale well), in English.
