Calculating the Total Inductance for 1.0 V Pin Placement

You can calculate the total inductance of the surrounding pins by using mutual inductance values in the max10-1v-mutual-coupling.zip file.
  1. Download the max10-1v-mutual-coupling.zip file and extract the relevant mutual inductance spreadsheet for your device.
  2. In the mutual inductance spreadsheet, identify the pins in use.
  3. Calculate the total mutual inductance of the pin and surrounding pins in use to ensure that the placement adheres to the 1.0 V pin placement guideline.
  4. If the total inductance is above the guideline restriction, update your design to use other I/O pins that contribute less mutual inductance.

Total Mutual Inductance Calculation

Table 4.  Total Mutual Inductance ExamplesThe examples in this table refer to Table 5.
Example Condition Type Example Result
Pin F5 is assigned with the 1 V I/O standard. The surrounding pins, F4, H3, and H4 are in the same I/O bank and are also assigned with the 1.0 V I/O standard. Intrabank, all 1.0 V Total Lm of F4, H3, and H4 does not exceed 7.4 nH. The placement does not violate the restriction.
Pin F5 is assigned with the 1 V I/O standard. The surrounding pins, F4, H3, and H4 are in an adjacent I/O bank and are assigned with the 1.0 V I/O standard. Interbank, all 1.0 V Total Lm of F4, H3, and H4 does not exceed 7.4 nH. The placement does not violate the restriction.
Pin F5 is assigned with the 1 V I/O standard. The surrounding pins, F4, H3, and H4 are in an adjacent I/O bank and are assigned with the 2.5 V I/O standard. Interbank, mixed voltages Total Lm of F4, H3, and H4 exceeds 1.0 nH. Update your design to use other I/O pins with smaller mutual inductance.
