2.2.1. Supported I/O Standards for GPIO Banks

The VCCIO_PIO and VCCPT power supplies power the Intel® Agilex™ GPIO buffers. Each I/O bank has its own VCCIO_PIO power supply and supports only one I/O voltage.

The True Differential Signaling I/O standard is compatible with the LVDS, RSDS, Mini-LVDS, and LVPECL standards at a lower signal swing.

You can place the True Differential Signaling input buffer in a GPIO bank powered by 1.2 V and 1.5 V VCCIO_PIO. The maximum input voltage to the True Differential Signaling input buffer must not exceed the value of :
  • For 1.5V VCCIO_PIO bank, the maximum input voltage is 1.7 V
  • For 1.2V VCCIO_PIO bank, the maximum input voltage is 1.4 V

By default, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software assigns 1.2 V to the VCCIO_PIO pin in unused I/O banks. To assign 0 V, 1.2 V, or 1.5 V I/O standards to the pin, specify the assignment in the .qsf file located in your design directory.
