Can I connect 3.3V devices to cyclone10GX?

I want to connect an IC with an I/O voltage of 3.3V to cyclone10GX. However, the datasheet says it only supports up to 3V. Does this mean I can't connect directly to 3.3V devices?
If you can't connect, do you have a suitable level shift IC?
I would like to know.

Thankyou.

    Datasheet specifies 3.3 V input voltage in recommended operating conditions plus overvoltage margin. 3.3V driver supply is o.k. if you avoid overshoot by placing suitable serial termination for longer lines.

      Thank you for your reply.

      The device I want to check is the 10GX, not the Cyclone10LP.

      It seems that the VCCIO conditions for Cyclone 10GX only include 3.0V (2.85V to 3.15V).

      Does Vccio of the 3 V I/O bank mean that I can connect external I/O devices with a 3.3V level while keeping it at 3.0V?

      Datasheet:Cyclone® 10 GX Device Datasheet 683828 | 2022.02.14

      Thankyou.

        Yes. I was quoting input voltage spec of Cyclone 10 GX datasheet.

    Hi,


    For the DC input voltage for Cyclone 10 GX, they supported up to 3.3V for 3V I/O. Pin voltage should not be externally pulled higher than the maximum value.


    Please be noted the VCCIO is for the I/O buffers power supply.
