Cyclone IV E LVDS output voltage

Two questions: 1. According to Cyclone IV E handbook, the LVDS output level is 2.5V. So if a 3.3V is supplied to an I/O bank VCCIO, all the differential I/O pairs located in this bank can not c...

Thanks.

Through testing, we find that FPGA can correctly output LVDS signals with 3.3V bank VCCIO input.

The Cyclone IV E handbook requires that the pins can be configured as LVDS only with 2.5V bank VCCIO supply.

I am not sure if the 3.3V LVDS can always work well.
