Medium vs Fast I/O Pads

[bchang32]

What is meant by Medium and Fast I/O Pads and what determines each?

It appears that the eTPU signals are medium I/O Pads, but is there a way to tell as well as what the diference is? eTPU can go up to 200 MHz. What is the eMIOS pad considered?

I'm looking specifically at the MPC5775E.

According DS terminology, there are following pad types used with MPC5775E:

1. pad_sr_hv = General-purpose I/O pads
- Input specification (DS Table 6)
- Output specification(DS Table 9)

2. pad_ae_hv = Input-only analog pads
- Input specification (DS section 3.8)

3. pad_isatww_st_hv = Input-only pads = Analog and digital input pads
- Input specification (DS section 3.8 and Table 6)

5. pad_sr_hv +MSC = LVDS pads
- Input specification (DS Table 6 and Section 3.10)
- Output specification(DS Table 6 and Section 3.10)

6. pad_sr_hv w/ LFAST = LVDS pads
- Input specification (DS Table 6 and Section 3.10)
- Output specification(DS Table 6 and Section 3.10)

7. pad_fc_hv = EBI pads
- Input specification (DS Table 6, Table 38 for EBI)
- Output specification(DS Table 10, Table 38 for EBI)

I/O Power Domain is specified in the excel sheet MPC5775B_MPC5775E_System_IO_Definition.xlsx (embedded in the RM), column "I/O Power Domain".

VDDEx is considered as I/O supply voltage for fast I/O pads. VDDEHx is considered as I/O supply voltage for medium I/O pads. However medium/fast marking does not make any sense on this device and there are 7 pad typed on this device. It is rather simplified designation.
