I/Os with Advanced I/O Standards

The IGLOO PLUS family of FPGAs features a flexible I/O structure, supporting a range of voltages (1.2

V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V wide range, and 3.3 V). IGLOO PLUS FPGAs support many different I/O

standards.

The I/Os are organized into four banks. All devices in IGLOO PLUS have four banks. The configuration

of these banks determines the I/O standards supported.

Each I/O module contains several input, output, and output enable registers.

Hot-swap (also called hot-plug, or hot-insertion) is the operation of hot-insertion or hot-removal of a card

in a powered-up system.

Cold-sparing (also called cold-swap) refers to the ability of a device to leave system data undisturbed

when the system is powered up, while the component itself is powered down, or when power supplies

are floating.

Wide Range I/O Support

Actel IGLOO PLUS devices support JEDEC-defined wide range I/O operation. IGLOO PLUS devices

support both the JESD8-B specification, covering 3 V and 3.3 V supplies, for an effective operating range

of 2.7 V to 3.6 V, and JESD8-12 with its 1.2 V nominal, supporting an effective operating range of 1.14 V

to 1.575 V.

Wider I/O range means designers can eliminate power supplies or power conditioning components from

the board or move to less costly components with greater tolerances. Wide range eases I/O bank

management and provides enhanced protection from system voltage spikes, while providing the flexibility

to easily run custom voltage applications.
