The DCI_CASCADE constraint links two or
more adjacent I/O banks together for DCI reference voltage purposes. The I/O bank with
the DCI reference voltage is the master, and all other I/O banks in the cascade are
slaves. All banks in a cascade must be in the same I/O column of the device.
Note: You can configure
the DCI_CASCADE constraint for 7 series devices, Zynq 7000, and UltraScale
architecture-based devices. For more information on this constraint, see the
Vivado
Design Suite Properties Reference Guide (UG912). To create a DCI_CASCADE
constraint:
- In the Device Constraints window, select DCI Cascade from the drop-down list at the top
of the window.
- Select the I/O banks you want to cascade, right-click, and select Add DCI Cascade.
- In the Add DCI Cascade dialog box, select an I/O bank to be the
master of the new DCI cascade, and click OK.
The master bank appears in the Device Constraints window.
Note: DCI cascades must have a master and at least one slave I/O bank.Tip: Alternatively, you can create a DCI_CASCADE constraint in the Package window or Package Pins window. Right-click the banks to cascade, and select Create a DCI Cascade.
