15 years agoThanks for the reply Ton,
I guess it addresses some of my concerns but since I wish to use the 125Mhz for the transceivers don't I have to coinsider it a REFCLK. In volume 2 of the device handbook 1-22 there is a table of supported standards. It seems LVDS has to be AC coupled with off chip termination that also needs to restore the the Vcm. But here is the rub, the reference board I have 'Cyclone IV GX Transceiver starter kit' does not have AC coupling, it has DC from a LVDS clock with just the off chip terminator. So which is correct the device handbook or the starter kit? Still have a dilemma Dave
