- Banks located on the top and/or bottom periphery of the device
- Banks are groups of 54 IOBs. Each IOB is capable of both single-ended and differential signaling.
- VREF is internally generated (only)
- DCI reference resistors are no longer required on a per bank basis (a maximum of two resistors per device)
- Output drive and termination are calibrated against the DCI reference resistor
- No support for 1.8V bank voltages. The supported bank voltages are 1.0V, 1.2V 1.35V, and 1.5V
- Output drive strength support of 4 mA, 8 mA, and 12 mA
- LVDS supported in 1.5V banks
