The X5IO PHY is the new high-performance I/O interface in the X5IO banks. The X5IO PHY are organized in banks of 32 I/Os. The I/Os are grouped together as 8-bit octads, which is the same as four 2-bit transceivers (XCVR_X2) for each octad.
The X5IO PHY is controlled by four main primitives. The X5IO PHY contains the CMPHY_OCTAD which contains the fabric interface and handles the communication with the rest of the X5IO primitives. The X5PHIO_XCVR_X2 supports the serialization and deserialization and I/O controls. Each X5PHIO_XCVR_X2 supports one differential pin pair or two single-ended pins. The X5PHIO_CMU provides the biasing and calibrated impedance codes for the I/Os. The X5PLL drives the dedicated clocks for the X5IO PHY within the bank or the adjacent bank, such as bank 704 and 705.

The X5IO PHY banks support a number of enhancements to allow higher performance. X5IO PHY is used to support the following applications:
- DDR5
- LPDDR5
- DDR4
- LPDDR4
- 1000Base-X and SGMII
- ONFI and Toggle NAND Flash
