User I/Os
Introduction
Fusion devices feature a flexible I/O structure, supporting a range of mixed voltages (1.5 V, 1.8 V,
programmable slew rates, drive strengths, weak pull-up, and weak pull-down circuits. 3.3 V PCI and
implementations of 5 V tolerance.
All I/Os are in a known state during power-up, and any power-up sequence is allowed without
sleep mode (VCC is 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 2-91on page 2-131). The registers can also be used to support the JESD-79C DDR standard within the I/O
for more 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 2-105 onof the I/O in the AFS600 and AFS1500 devices comprises two banks of Actel Pro I/Os. The Actel 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 Actel 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
show the required voltage 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
Each Pro I/O bank is divided into minibanks. Any user I/O in a VREF minibank (a minibank is the
VREF pin is needed to control the entire VREF minibank. The location and scope of the VREF
corresponding voltage levels.
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).
