8.3.2. Placement Restrictions for True Differential and Single-Ended I/O Standards in the Same or Adjacent HSIO Bank

If you use true differential I/O standards and single-ended I/O standards in the same HSIO banks, adhere to the following placement guidelines.
  • Do not place true differential and toggling single-ended I/O standards in the combinations of locations listed in the following tables.
  • The Quartus® Prime software issues this error message:
    Compilation error—violation of the same bank placement restriction.
Table 38.  Restricted Pin Placement Combinations for True Differential and Single-Ended I/O Standards in the Same HSIO Bank

This table lists the combinations of pins and I/O standards not allowed in the same HSIO bank. Examples:

  • If you place a true differential I/O standard in pin pair 10 and 11, do not place single-ended I/O standards in pins 8 or 19.
  • If you place a single-ended I/O standard in pin 57 or 67, do not place a true differential I/O standard in pin pair 58 and 59.
Combinations Not Allowed (Pin Index Number) Combinations Not Allowed (Pin Index Number) Combinations Not Allowed (Pin Index Number) Combinations Not Allowed (Pin Index Number)
