Differential I/O Termination
The I/O pins are organized in pairs to support differential I/O standards. Each I/O pin pair can support
differential input and output buffers.
The supported I/O standards such as Differential SSTL-15, Differential SSTL-125, and Differential SSTL-
135 typically do not require external board termination.
Altera recommends that you use dynamic OCT with these I/O standards to save board space and cost.
Dynamic OCT reduces the number of external termination resistors used.
Differential HSTL, SSTL, and HSUL Termination
Differential HSTL, SSTL, and HSUL inputs use LVDS differential input buffers. However, R
D
support is
only available if the I/O standard is LVDS.
Differential HSTL, SSTL, and HSUL outputs are not true differential outputs. These I/O standards use two
single-ended outputs with the second output programmed as inverted.
