PCI Pull-Up Clamping Diode Option

ACEX 1K devices have a pull-up clamping diode on every I/O, dedicated

input, and dedicated clock pin. PCI clamping diodes clamp the signal to

the VCCIO value and are required for 3.3-V PCI compliance. Clamping

diodes can also be used to limit overshoot in other systems.

Clamping diodes are controlled on a pin-by-pin basis. When VCCIO is

3.3 V, a pin that has the clamping diode option turned on can be driven by

a 2.5-V or 3.3-V signal, but not a 5.0-V signal. When VCCIO is 2.5 V, a pin

that has the clamping diode option turned on can be driven by a 2.5-V

signal, but not a 3.3-V or 5.0-V signal. Additionally, a clamping diode can

be activated for a subset of pins, which allows a device to bridge between

a 3.3-V PCI bus and a 5.0-V device.

Slew-Rate Control

The output buffer in each IOE has an adjustable output slew rate that can

be configured for low-noise or high-speed performance. A slower slew

rate reduces system noise and adds a maximum delay of 4.3 ns. The fast

slew rate should be used for speed-critical outputs in systems that are

adequately protected against noise. Designers can specify the slew rate

pin-by-pin or assign a default slew rate to all pins on a device-wide basis.

The slow slew rate setting affects only the falling edge of the output.

Open-Drain Output Option

ACEX 1K devices provide an optional open-drain output (electrically

equivalent to open-collector output) for each I/O pin. This open-drain

output enables the device to provide system-level control signals (e.g.,

interrupt and write enable signals) that can be asserted by any of several

devices. It can also provide an additional wired-OR plane.

MultiVolt I/O Interface

The ACEX 1K device architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface

feature, which allows ACEX 1K devices in all packages to interface with

systems of differing supply voltages. These devices have one set of VCC

pins for internal operation and input buffers (VCCINT), and another set for

I/O output drivers (VCCIO).
