Switching Characteristics
Periphery Performance
This section describes periphery performance, including high-speed I/O and external
memory interface.
I/O performance supports several system interfaces, such as the LVDS high-speed
I/O interface, external memory interface, and the PCI/PCI-X bus interface.
General-purpose I/O standards such as 3.3-, 2.5-, 1.8-, and 1.5-LVTTL/LVCMOS are
capable of a typical 167 MHz and 1.2-LVCMOS at 100 MHz interfacing frequency
with a 10 pF load.

The actual achievable frequency depends on design- and system-specific factors.
Ensure proper timing closure in your design and perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations
based on your specific design and system setup to determine the maximum
achievable frequency in your system.
