Fitter error for LVDS o/p ports

Hi,

I am currently executing one vhdl code in quartus. I am getting the following error during fitter.

" error (169175): pin %signal% with lvds i/o standard needs a differential output buffer which is not available on location ae13. "

Can you suggest some workaround for this .

Thanks and regards

    Re-assign the signal to a pin that does contain the appropriate buffer for the I/O standard you're trying to use.

    If you must use that pin then all you can do is change the I/O standard to one that is supported by it.

    Cheers,

    Alex
