SFP modules specify 3.3V level control signals. Some SFP control signals require 3.3V pull-up resistors on the host board. Bank 15 and Bank 16 I/O from the XEM7360 are used for the SFP control signals on the BRK7360. The I/O levels are for these banks are controlled by VADJ1. When VADJ1 is set to a voltage lower than 3.3V, these SFP control signal pull-up resistors can cause the VADJ1 voltage level to rise above the configured voltage.

Level translation components were added between the Bank 15 and Bank 16 I/O and the SFP modules so that any VADJ1 voltage can be used to control the 3.3V SFP module control signals without effecting the configured voltage level of the I/O or the VADJ1 rail.
