Cyclone V Emulated LVDS Signal Voltages

Hi, I am using the two 121R resistors followed by 169R in parallel, with 100R parallel termination. I can't find any information on what signal amplitude I would see across the 169R resistor. I nee...

Hi Ian,

for an exact calculation,  you can derive output characteristic of LVDS_E3R IO standard from IBIS files. In practice, it's very easy. Just assume full VCCIO of 2.5V as differential output voltage. Respectively current through 121 ohm resistors is 8.2 mA, voltage across 169 ohm resistor and 100 ohm termination about 0.52 V.
