Hi,

I've red somewhere that 1.25V should be asserted to the VREF pins (with Cyclones III) when using the LVDS standard.

However, I do not find anything clear about that in the device familly handbook...

So if I use LVDS signalings with a bank, I must apply 2.5V to VCCIO pins and what about the VREF pins?

Yours faithfully
