Notes to Table 5–77:
(1) Row clock inputs don’t support PCI, PCI-X, LVPECL, and differential HSTL and SSTL standards.
(2) 1.2-V HSTL is only supported on column I/O pins.
(3) Differential HSTL and SSTL standards are only supported on column clock and DQS inputs.
(4) HyperTransport technology is only supported on row I/O and row dedicated clock input pins.
(5) These numbers apply to I/O pins and dedicated clock pins in the left and right I/O banks.
(6) These numbers apply to dedicated clock pins in the top and bottom I/O banks.
