in digit position 1. Then, if AN1 is asserted while CA, CB, and CC are asserted, a "7" will be displayed in digit 
position 2. If AN0, CB, and CC are driven for 4ms, and then AN1, CA, CB, and CC are driven for 4ms in an endless 
succession, the display will show "71" in the first two digits. An example timing diagram for a four-digit controller is 
shown in Fig. 19.

9  Pmod Controllers 
The Pmod connectors are arranged in a 2x6 right-angle, and are 100-mil female connectors that mate with 
standard 2x6 pin headers. Each 12-pin Pmod connector provides two 3.3V VCC signals (pins 6 and 12), two Ground 
signals (pins 5 and 11), and eight logic signals, as shown in Fig. 20. The VCC and Ground pins can deliver up to 1A of 
current. Pmod data signals are not matched pairs, and they are routed using best-available tracks without 
impedance control or delay matching. Pin assignments for the Pmod I/O connected to the FPGA are shown in Table 
6.
