Difference between true and emulated KVDS RX channels in MAX10 FPGA?

Hello Eli , Thanks for the question , Ture LVDS buffer means it support true differential buffer (i.e if you the transmitter output to receiver should be differential ) Emulated LVDS buffer means two single ended pins to emulate the differential buffer . In the below link , refer figure 8 and 9 for the pictorial example. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/sam1394433606063.html No other difference i could think of .. Please refer detail max datarate in below link for speed grade -7 and -8 speed grades https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/mcn1397700832153.html#mcn1398043804031 Thank you , Regards, Sree
