Microsemi SmartDesign MSS I/O Editor

Changing I/O Bank Settings

The SmartDesign MSS Configurator is a specialized SmartDesign for MSS configuration. If you are familiar with SmartDesign then the MSS Configurator will be very familiar. The I/O Editor is a specialized I/O attribute editor for MSS I/O pins. Only the MSS I/O pins are editable in this table, regular FPGA I/Os are shown but do not contain any editable attributes (as shown in Figure 1).

• The I/O Editor only displays the attributes that are relevant for MSS I/Os. The read-only values are shown with a gray background. MSS I/Os must be configured inside the SmartDesign MSS Configurator. In Designer and SmartDesign I/ O editor, all MSS I/O attributes are read-only.
• To access the I/O Bank settings in your MSS design you must click the I/O Editor tab in the MSS configurator, and from the I/O Editor menu choose I/O Bank Settings. You can use the I/O Bank Settings dialog box to change the VCCI of the banks where the MSS I/Os are placed – the East (Bank 2) and West (Bank 4) MSS I/O banks (as shown in Figure 2).

These settings cannot be changed in Designer software. You have four options: 1.50V; 1.80V; 2.50V; 3.30V When changing the VCCI the MSS I/Os placed on this bank will change the I/O standard to match the new VCCI; this is done automatically. The I/O standard is changed as follows:

• 3.30V: MSS I/Os placed on this bank are changed to LVTTL. You may change the I/O standard to LVCMOS 3.3V for each MSS I/O individually using the I/O editor.
• 2.50V: MSS I/Os placed on this bank are changed to LVCMOS 2.5V
• 1.80V: MSS I/Os placed on this bank are changed to LVCMOS 1.8V
• 1.50V: MSS I/Os placed on this bank are changed to LVCMOS 1.5V
