15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Thanks for answering. Please could you told me where the hardware manual is clear (is that on page 7-27)? I have miss something... and I want to read it carefully. --- Quote End --- Page 6-20 of the cyclone III handbook: The LVDS standard does not require an input reference voltage, but it does require a 100-Ω termination resistor between the two signals at the input buffer. An external resistor network is required on the transmitter side for top and bottom I/O banks. Page 7-8 of the cyclone III handbook:designing with lvds Cyclone III device family I/O banks support LVDS I/O standard. The left and right I/O banks support true LVDS transmitters. On the top and bottom I/O banks, the emulated LVDS transmitters are supported using two single-ended output buffers with external resistors. One of the single-ended output buffers is programmed to have opposite polarity. The LVDS receiver requires an external 100-Ω termination resistor between the two signals at the input buffer.
