3.2.1. Variable I/O levels

All HDRZ connector signals are fixed at 3.3V I/O signalling level.

The XU, XL, YU, and YL I/O signalling levels are set to 3.3V by 0Ω links on the tile. You can however, remove the links and enable the VCCO blade of a corresponding connector on a plugged-in board to set the signal level. The signal levels for the FPGA banks are listed in Table 3.1. (All ARM Logic Tiles operate at 3.3 volt signal level, but custom tiles might use a different signal level and supply the voltage to the VCCO blade.)

Caution

If you provide VCCO from an adjacent tile, you must remove the relevant 0Ω resistor.

If you require any configuration resistor to be removed or changed, it is recommended that the work be carried out by a skilled technician with experience in circuit board soldering. If any board malfunction is proved as a result of any modification to the board or components, this immediately invalidates the warranty and could lead to costs from ARM for repair or replacement.

All pins on the lower HDRX and HDRY connectors must operate at 3.3V signal levels if the tile is used with a Versatile/PB926EJ-S or an Integrator motherboard.
