I/O banks in an FPGA. Is it important for routing?
Hello!
When I'm routing the outputs of an FPGA (pin assignment), there is a pin map in Quartus II.
There are several "IO banks". My question is simple: if I route a bus (for example 16 bit) to
outside world, is it better to choose these 16 bits from the same bank or simply it doesn't
matter?
Thanks,
Pastel
By the way, to the moderators: when posting I had the following message:

The title was "IO banks in an FPGA" which is indeed 19 characters. I add / between I and O, but the same
message still displays. I added "I/O banks in an FPGA. Is it important for routing?" to be sure I'm way
over 20, but the same message is still displayed... I'm going to try the 2nd "submit new thread" button
at the bottom of the page. Let's see...
