15.10.1 About I/O Banks

For devices that support multiple I/O standards, I/Os are grouped into I/O banks around the chip.

The I/O Bank Assigner runs in the background when you run Layout and automatically assigns technologies to all I/O banks that have not been assigned a technology. You can also choose to manually run the I/O Bank Assigner.

To run the I/O Bank Assigner, from the I/O Attribute Editor menu, choose Tools, and then Auto-Assign I/O Banks.

I/O banks are visible in both ChipPlanner and PinEditor. Information about I/O banks appears in the MultiView Navigator's status bar.
