VCCAUX_IO is the auxiliary supply voltage relative to ground (pre-driver voltage). For memory interfaces, this can be set to either 1.8V or 2.0V. The selection of the Vccaux_io voltage is dependent on the target memory interface frequency, the selected 7 Series FPGA/Package, as well as the bank selection (High Range versus High Performance). This answer record details the usage and requirements of Vccaux_io.

7 series FPGAs include an improved I/O driver structure allowing a higher pre-driver voltage (Vccaux_io) to achieve higher data rates. Vccaux_io is a separate rail providing power to the I/O circuitry in the High Performance banks. Vccaux_io must be set to 2.0V to achieve higher data rates and can be set to 1.8V for lower data rate. Setting Vccaux_io=2.0v does not affect other IO standards and unless it is being used for high performance memory applications Vccaux_io should be set to 1.8v.

The MIG tool includes a Vccaux_io setting. For higher data rates that require Vccaux_io=2.0v, the option cannot be changed. When the frequency is lower and 1.8V is feasible, users can select either 1.8V or 2.0V. Selecting 2.0V is not needed at lower frequencies. The MIG output sets the Vccaux_io voltage on each I/O within the generated UCF file. When Vccaux_io is 2.0V, the VCCAUX_IO is set to HIGH. When it is 1.8V, the value is NORMAL. Here is an example:

NET "ddr3_dq[0]" LOC = "L9" | IOSTANDARD = SSTL15_T_DCI | VCCAUX_IO = HIGH ; # Bank: 39 - Byte: T3

Virtex-7 devices all have Vccaux_io available in the High Performance banks. Not all Kintex devices have Vccaux_io available in High Performance banks (only the FFG package). If you are using MIG and do not see the Vccaux_io option, you have selected a 7 series FPGA that does not have Vccaux_io.
