Description

Keyestudio Mega 2560 R3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATMEGA2560-16AU , fully compatible with ARDUINO MEGA 2560 REV3.
It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, 2 ICSP headers, and a reset button.
It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. With its bootloader, program can be downloaded directly with USB and you don’t need to use other external programmer.
Just simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Mega 2560 board is compatible with most shields designed for the Uno.
The 2560 R3 differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega16U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
The MEGA 2560 is designed for more complex projects. With 54 digital I/O pins, 16 analog inputs and a larger space for your sketch, it is the recommended board for 3D printers and robotics projects. This gives your projects plenty of room and opportunities.

Design of Power Supply

There are two choices (direct power supply trough USB or external power supply) for the power supply system of Arduino Mega, and they can be automatically switched. External power supply can be AC-to-DC adapter or battery. Voltage input of this control board is 6V~12V, but if the supplied voltage is greater than 12V, the voltage stabilizing device will be likely to be overheated to damage Arduino MEGA. So we suggest the power supply should be 6.5~12V in operation and recommended supply is 7.5 or 9V.

PCB Dimensions

Element and Pin Interfaces

	Digital I/OArduino MEGA has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs). These pins can be configured as digital input pin to read the logic value (0 or 1). Or used as digital output pin to drive different modules like LED, relay, etc. Using pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and digitalRead() functions.
	GNDGround pins
	AREFReference voltage (0-5V) for analog inputs. Used with analogReference(). Configures the reference voltage used for analog input (i.e. the value used as the top of the input range).
	SDAIIC communication pin
	SCLIIC communication pin
	ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Headerthe AVR, an Arduino micro-program header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND. Connected to the ATMEGA16U2-MU. When connecting to PC, program the firmware to ATMEGA16U2-MU.
	USB ConnectionArduino board can be powered via USB connector. All you needed to do is connecting the USB port to PC using a USB cable.
	D13 LEDThere is a built-in LED driven by digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it’s off.
	ATMEGA 16U2-MUUSB to serial chip, can convert the USB signal into serial port signal.
	TX LEDOnboard you can find the label: TX (transmit) When Arduino board communicates via serial port, send the message, TX led flashes.
	RX LEDOnboard you can find the label: RX(receive ) When Arduino board communicates via serial port, receive the message, RX led flashes.
	Crystal OscillatorHow does Arduino calculate time? by using a crystal oscillator. The number printed on the top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16MHz.
	Voltage RegulatorTo control the voltage provided to the Arduino board, as well as to stabilize the DC voltage used by the processor and other components. Convert an external input DC7-12V voltage into DC 5V, then switch DC 5V to the processor and other components.
	DC Power JackArduino board can be supplied with an external power DC7-12V from the DC power jack.
	IOREFThis pin on the board provides the voltage reference with which the microcontroller operates. A properly configured shield can read the IOREF pin voltage and select the appropriate power source or enable voltage translators on the outputs for working with the 5V or 3.3V.
	RESET HeaderConnect an external button to reset the board. The function is the same as reset button.
	Power Pin 3V3A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current draw is 50 mA.
	Power Pin 5VProvides 5V output voltage
	VinYou can supply an external power input DC7-12V through this pin to Arduino board.
	Analog PinsOnboard has 16 analog inputs, labeled A0 to A15.
	RESET ButtonYou can reset your Arduino board, for example, start the program from the initial status. You can use the RESET button.
	ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Headerthe AVR, an Arduino micro-program header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND. It is often called the SPI (serial peripheral interface) and can be considered an “extension” of the output. In fact, slave the output devices to the SPI bus host. When connecting to PC, program the firmware to ATMEGA2560-16AU.
	MicrocontrollerEach Arduino board has its own microcontroller. You can regard it as the brain of your board. The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is slightly different from the panel pair. Microcontrollers are usually from ATMEL. Before you load a new program on the Arduino IDE, you must know what IC is on your board. This information can be checked at the top of IC.
	Power LED IndicatorPowering the Arduino, LED on means that your circuit board is correctly powered on. If LED is off, connection is wrong.
