6.3.6 ADSmartIO Controller
The ADSmartIO Controller is a second RISC microcontroller on the BitsyXb designed to handle
I/O functions autonomously. The BitsyXb communicates with the ADSmartIO controller using
the PXA270 SPI bus. On the BitsyXb, ADSmartIO is implemented with the Atmel
ATMEGA8535 microcontroller, which has 512 bytes EEPROM.

Notes:
21. Row I/O, column I/O and SMTIO 0-1 have series resistance and overvoltage protection to
ground. The series resistance limits the dc current that any one pin can source or sink.
22. Control pull-up resistors by writing to bits of IO port when the port is configured as a digital
input (bit mask 1=enable, 0=disable).
23. Digital noise on the board may degrade analog performance under some conditions.
24. Vref turns off when the system is in Sleep mode (section 5.3.2).
25. Specifications based on ADSmartIO release 1010 rev 2 (Eurotech release #700114-10102)
