User I/Os
Introduction
Fusion devices feature a flexible I/O structure, supporting a range of mixed voltages (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V,
page 2-138 show the voltages and the compatible I/O standards. I/Os provide programmable slew rates,
drive strengths, weak pull-up, and weak pull-down circuits. 3.3 V PCI and 3.3 V PCI-X are 5 V–tolerant.
All I/Os are in a known state during power-up, and any power-up sequence is allowed without current
OFF, VCC33A is ON, VCCI is ON) or when the resource is not used, digital inputs are tristated, digital
outputs are tristated, and digital bibufs (input/output) are tristated.
I/O Tile
The Fusion I/O tile provides a flexible, programmable structure for implementing a large number of I/O
standards. In addition, the registers available in the I/O tile in selected I/O banks can be used to support
high-performance register inputs and outputs, with register enable if desired (
Figure 2-99 onpage 2-136). The registers can also be used to support the JESD-79C DDR standard within the I/O
information.
I/O Banks and I/O Standards Compatibility
The digital I/Os are grouped into I/O voltage banks. There are three digital I/O banks on the AFS090 and
AFS250 devices and four digital I/O banks on the AFS600 and AFS1500 devices.
Figure 2-113 onthe I/O in the AFS600 and AFS1500 devices comprises two banks of Pro I/Os. The Pro I/Os support a
wide number of voltage-referenced I/O standards in addition to the multitude of single-ended and
differential I/O standards common throughout all Microsemi digital I/Os. Each I/O voltage bank has
dedicated I/O supply and ground voltages (VCCI/GNDQ for input buffers and VCCI/GND for output
buffers). Because of these dedicated supplies, only I/Os with compatible standards can be assigned to
compatibility values for each of these voltages.
For more information about I/O and global assignments to I/O banks, refer to the specific pin table of the
Each Pro I/O bank is divided into minibanks. Any user I/O in a VREF minibank (a minibank is the region
pin is needed to control the entire VREF minibank. The location and scope of the VREF minibanks can

I/O standards are compatible if the following are true:
Their VCCI values are identical.
If both of the standards need a VREF, their VREF values must be identical (Pro I/O only).
