The guidelines when using DCI cascading are as follows:
• The master and slave banks must all reside on the same column (left, center, or right)
on the device.
• Master and slave banks must have the same V
CCO
and V
REF
(if applicable) voltage.
• DCI I/O banking compatibility rules must be satisfied across all master and slave
banks (for example, only one DCI I/O standard using single termination type is
allowed across all master and slave banks). DCI I/O standard compatibility is not
constrained to one bank when DCI cascading is implemented; it extends across all
master and slave banks.
