====== Pmod™ ======
Digilent [[https://digilent.com/shop/boards-and-components/system-board-expansion-modules/pmods/|Pmods]] are small, low-cost peripheral modules designed to be used with a wide range of embedded systems and development boards. Pmod is short for "peripheral module" and these modules are specifically designed to extend the capabilities of embedded systems and development boards by adding new features and functionality.
      
Pmods communicate with host boards using 6, 8 or 12-pin connectors that can carry multiple digital control signals, taking advantage of standard serial protocols such as SPI and I²C. Pmods allow for more effective designs by routing analog signals and power supplies only where they are needed and away from digital controller boards.
 
Pmods are designed to plug directly into Pmod host ports that adhere to the Digilent Pmod Interface Specification. Additionally, the Digilent Pmod Standard lays out guidelines for form factor, communication protocols and access to a target audience through reference manuals, code examples, user guides, and technical support. See Table 1 for links to the most recent version of the specification:
