Generation FPGAs” chapter in UG331.
V
. Each of the four I/O banks has a separate V
CCAUX
CCO
supply input that powers the output buffers within the
associated I/O bank. All of the V connections to a
CCO
specific I/O bank must be connected and must connect to
the same voltage.
Voltage Supplies
Like Spartan-3 FPGAs, Spartan-3E FPGAs have multiple
voltage supply inputs, as shown in Table 70. There are two

Supply Input
Description
Nominal Supply Voltage
VCCINT
Internal core supply voltage. Supplies all internal logic functions, such as CLBs, block
RAM, and multipliers. Input to Power-On Reset (POR) circuit.
1.2V
VCCAUX
VCCO_0
VCCO_1
Auxiliary supply voltage. Supplies Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), differential drivers,
dedicated configuration pins, JTAG interface. Input to Power-On Reset (POR) circuit.
2.5V
Supplies the output buffers in I/O Bank 0, the bank along the top edge of the FPGA.
Selectable, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8,
1.5V, or 1.2V
Supplies the output buffers in I/O Bank 1, the bank along the right edge of the FPGA. In Selectable, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8,
Byte-Wide Peripheral Interface (BPI) Parallel Flash Mode, connects to the same voltage
as the Flash PROM.
1.5V, or 1.2V
VCCO_2
VCCO_3
Supplies the output buffers in I/O Bank 2, the bank along the bottom edge of the FPGA. Selectable, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8,
Connects to the same voltage as the FPGA configuration source. Input to Power-On
Reset (POR) circuit.
1.5V, or 1.2V
Supplies the output buffers in I/O Bank 3, the bank along the left edge of the FPGA.
Selectable, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8,
1.5V, or 1.2V
In a 3.3V-only application, all four V
supplies connect to
CCO
3.3V. However, Spartan-3E FPGAs provide the ability to
bridge between different I/O voltages and standards by
applying different voltages to the V
inputs of different
CCO
banks. Refer to I/O Banking Rules for which I/O standards
can be intermixed within a single I/O bank.
Each I/O bank also has an separate, optional input voltage
reference supply, called V
. If the I/O bank includes an I/O
REF
standard that requires a voltage reference such as HSTL or
SSTL, then all V pins within the I/O bank must be
REF
connected to the same voltage.
