MAXV maximum current per bank

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 What's the maximum current per bank in 5M570ZT144C? I need to drive 56 leds with 5mA (280mA). Is it possible? VDDIO = 3V3  Thanks.  Bruno Bernardi

There's no explicite specification in the datasheet, but I think you can refer to the MAX II related specification in AN286.

Would be 850mA per bank?  according to AN286: "For example, the EPM240 device has six GNDIO pads, which provide six I/O regions  that can sink up to 130 mΑ. If you need to sink 15 mA for the outputs, you can have  eight outputs per region. With the six regions of I/O between GNDIO pads, there are  48 possible outputs, each sinking 15 mA."

I think it's pretty clear if you review the MAX II data sheet and pin-out lists. I assume that MAX V has about the same current capability, but your requirements are distinctly below the discussed maximum ratings.
