7.3.3 VOL B-Side Offset Voltage

The B-side drivers operate from 2.7V to 5.5V. The output low level for this internal buffer is approximately 0.5V, but the input voltage must be 70mV or more below the output low level when the output internally is driven low. The higher-voltage low signal is called a buffered low. When the B-side I/O is driven low internally, the low is not recognized as a low by the input. This feature prevents a lockup condition from occurring when the input low condition is released. This type of design prevents 2 B-side ports from being connected to each other.
