4. Memories
The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained has an external SDRAM memory mounted on the board. There are also footprints
available for adding either an industrial standard or a proprietary Atmel DataFlash serial flash.
Note: The footprints share the same SPI lines including the chip select, and so it is not possible to mount a device on both
footprints at the same time.
Table 4-1. Compatible devices for the footprints.

5. Miscellaneous I/O
5.1 Mechanical button
The board is equipped with one mechanical button. Because the button is used to enter bootloader mode it has a pull-
up mounted, this means it is not necessary to use the pull-up in the UC3 to detect the status of the button.
5.2 LEDs
The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained has four yellow LEDs which are connected to the Atmel AT32UC3A3256 and all of them
are active low.
