High-density (HD) I/O banks are SelectIO resources designed to support a wide range of I/O standards with voltages ranging from 1.2V to 3.3V. HD I/Os are optimized for single-ended, voltage-referenced, and pseudo-differential I/O standards operating at data rates of up to 250 Mb/s. Limited support for true differential inputs (with external termination) is also available to support LVDS and LVPECL clock inputs. HD I/Os also contain interface logic including registers and static delay lines to support asynchronous, system synchronous, and clock-based source synchronous interfaces. Table: Supported Features in the HD I/O Banks highlights the features supported in HD I/O banks.

IMPORTANT: HD I/O banks are only supported in Zynq™ UltraScale+™ devices, Kintex™ UltraScale+ devices, Artix™ UltraScale+ devices, and some Virtex™ UltraScale+ devices.

Notes:

1. Does not support differential termination or LVDS/SUB_LVDS outputs. These features are supported in high-performance I/O (HP I/O) banks available in the same device.

2. Optional 50 on-die input termination is supported for SSTL and HSTL inputs.

3. SSTL, HSTL, and HSUL support enables legacy and chip-to-chip interfaces. There is no support for interfaces to DRAM memory devices (DDR3, DDR4, LPDDR2, or LPDDR3).
