17 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, I mean the IO pins that you use for the tranceivers can be used as any IO pins. So the notion of tranceivers becomes irrelevant. If your data is that low you don't need to think of the fast tranceiver circuitry. Treat your data as any serial stream connected to any suitable IO pins(not necessarily in lvds mode unless you want to). You will need to deserialise it within the fpga. Don't forget your clock is now needed kaz --- Quote End --- Thanx for the clearification. Any idea of how to configure my IO pins to different modes (normal mode, transceiver mode.. etc)? or at least a link to a tutorial for such a thing? Yes, I will be inputting my own clock through the external clock input.
