Table 5: User I/Os
The IO_B3B_CLK0_B31_<...>_B32_<...> pair is connected to the two FPGA pin pairs B31 and B32. This pair
can be used either as LVDS receive using the B31 pair or as LVDS transmit using the B32 pair. The user may
only use one of these pairs, hence the FPGA design should set both pins of the unused pin pair to high
impedance in order to prevent contention. These pins are regular I/O pins for non-differential applications.
The reason for this special connection is compatibility with certain Mercury base boards.
2.9.2
I/O Pin Exceptions
The I/O pin exceptions are pins with special functions or restrictions (for example, when used in combination
with certain Mercury boards they may have a specific role).
Table 6 lists the I/O pin exceptions on the Mercury SA1 SoC module.
