3.11. Guidelines: MultiVolt Input for I/O Banks with 3.3 V, 3.0 V, 1.8 V, or 1.5 V VCCIO

I/O banks with 3.3 V, 3.0 V, 1.5 V, or 1.8 V VCCIO can support input signals of different voltages than the banks' VCCIO voltage. This feature allows you to drive the FPGA input with output signals from upstream devices that use different I/O standards than the FPGA input VCCIO.

If you use MultiVolt input standards listed in the following table, adhere to these requirements:

  • The VIL/VIH of the input signals conform to the VIL/VIH specification for the VCCIO of the input bank.
  • The input signals do not exceed:
    • The maximum allowed overshoot or undershoot AC input voltage.
    • The maximum DC input voltage.

I/O Bank VCCIO (V) Supported Input Signal
3.3 3.3 V, 3.0 V, 2.5 V LVCMOS/LVTTL
3.0 3.3 V, 3.0 V, 3.0 V PCI, 2.5 V LVCMOS/LVTTL
2.5 3.3 V, 3.0 V, 2.5 V LVCMOS/LVTTL, SSTL-2, 2.5 V LVDS
1.8 1.8 V LVCMOS, SSTL-18, HSTL-18, 1.8 V LVDS, 1.5 V LVCMOS
1.5 1.8 V LVCMOS, 1.5 V LVCMOS, SSTL-15, HSTL-15
1.35 SSTL-135
1.2 1.2 V LVCMOS, HSTL-12, HSUL-12
1.0 1.0 V LVCMOS

To implement a MultiVolt interface in the Quartus® Prime software, use an input standard with an equivalent VCCIO as the input bank's I/O supply voltage. For example, if you want to drive a 2.5 V LVCMOS input signal to an input pin located in a 3.3 V VCCIO I/O bank, assign 3.3 V LVCMOS as the pin input standard.
