2.2. GPIO-B Features

The I/O bank within the GPIO-B interface supports various differential and single-ended I/O standards to cater to different types of interfacing requirements.
  • Single-ended LVCMOS for general purpose I/O interfacing.
  • Single-ended and pseudo-differential voltage-referenced I/O standards for general purpose and external memory interfacing. The differential voltage-referenced output pins are not true differential output pins. The differential voltage-referenced I/O standards use two single-ended output pins with one of the output pins inverted.
  • True differential I/O buffer pairs using the True Differential Signaling and SLVS-400 I/O standards. The True Differential Signaling I/O standard is compatible with the LVDS, RSDS, Mini-LVDS, and LVPECL I/O standards. One true differential buffer pair forms a true differential channel.

Power Pins for the GPIO-B Buffers

The VCCIO_PIO and VCCPT pins power the I/O buffers located in the I/O bank within the GPIO-B interface.
