### Pin Specifications and Characteristics
396+
397+
The Nano R4's pins are organized into the following categories:
398+
399+
| **Pin Type** | **Count** | **Pin Numbers** | **Primary Functions** |
400+
|:----------------:|:---------:|:-------------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|
401+
| **Digital Pins** | 14 | `D0` - `D13` | Digital I/O, PWM (6 pins), SPI, UART |
402+
| **Analog Pins** | 8 | `A0` - `A7` | Analog input, Digital I/O, I²C, DAC (`A0`) |
403+
| **Power Pins** | 4 | `VIN`, `5V`, `3V3`, `GND` | Power supply and ground |
404+
| **Special Pins** | 2 | `RESET`, `VBATT` | System control and backup |
405+
406+
The Nano R4 offers several advanced pin capabilities including multi-function pins that can serve multiple purposes depending on your project needs, native +5 VDC operation for compatibility with classic Arduino shields, internal +3.3 VDC level translation for modern sensors and electronic components via Qwicc, and built-in advanced peripherals such as DAC, CAN bus and operational amplifiers on specific pins of the board.

408+
The following table shows the electrical specifications and operating limits for all pins on the Nano R4 board:
409+
410+
| **Specification** | **Value** | **Notes** |
411+
|:-----------------------:|:------------:|:--------------------------------:|
412+
| **Operating Voltage** | +5 VDC | Logic level for all digital pins |
413+
| **Input Voltage Range** | 0 - +5.5 VDC | +5 VDC tolerant inputs |
414+
| **Max Current per Pin** | 8 mA | Source/sink current limit |
415+
| **Max Total Current** | 200 mA | Combined current for all pins |
416+
| **Analog Reference** | +5 VDC | Default `AREF` voltage |
417+
418+
***<strong>Important safety considerations when working with the Nano R4 pins:</strong> Never exceed +5.5 VDC on any pin to avoid permanent damage, respect the 8 mA per pin and 200 mA total current limits, handle the board with proper anti-static precautions, avoid connecting pins directly to ground or power and always verify voltage levels when connecting +3.3 VDC devices.***
