Planning output

Ready for an example run. Check the inputs, then run the tool.

Total user-I/O demand with allocation checks

  1. Confirm the values and units.
  2. Run the check to generate your output.
  3. Review limitations before exporting or sharing.

03 / METHOD & VERIFICATION

Understand the result.

How this works

Total = single-ended signals + 2 × differential pairs + additional clock pins + reserved user I/O.

Inputs and limits

Each count: whole number 0–1,000,000. Put each signal in only one category. Differential clocks belong in the pair count.

Verification example

32 single-ended + 8 differential pairs + 2 extra clock pins + 6 reserved → 56 user I/O.

Use the example inputs to inspect how the method behaves. This is a reference calculation, not a hardware test.
