  +----------+------------------------------+------+---------+------+-------+
  | V_in     | Input voltage for other I/Os | TBD  | 3.3     | TBD  | V     |

  | f_max    | Maximum frequency of I/Os    | N/A  | TBD     | TBD  | MHz   |
  +----------+------------------------------+------+---------+------+-------+

.. note:: Threshold voltage of logic `1` for I/O (V_OH) is 0.8 * VDD_io. In other words, V_in should be at least 2.64V in order to be sensed as logic `1`
.. note:: Threshold voltage of logic `0` for I/O (V_OH) is 0.4. In other words, V_in should not exceed 0.4V in order to be sensed as logic `0`.
