The datasheet lists the maximum voltage on input pins as 4v (or 5.5v on "5v tolerant pins") and notes that if you stay within these ranges In general if you're nervous about connecting anything to a Maple pin because it might be high voltage, power spike, whatever, it's best to use a non-analog-input pin if you can. The analog inputs have less robust digital circuitry and the 12-bit ADCs are very sensitive. In our experience the regular digital pins are pretty robust and I don't remember bricking any boards yet by applying +/- 12v, but we have fried analog inputs using high voltages to the point that they only had 4-5 bits of precision.

When using INPUT_FLOATING the impedance would be high. Some pins are 5V tolerant.
