7 years ago --- Quote Start --- Quite clearly the 0.4/0.5 Vocm spec is quoted from c10gx datasheet. You have been previously asking about transceiver ability to connect with LVDS IO standard. As far as I see, MIPI D isn't using LVDS levels. My brief reading of the transceiver spec tells that it supports two VCCT levels, resulting in the said Vocm values, but I didn't analyse it in detail. I however doubt that varying VCCT beyond the specified levels is a good idea. If you need to adjust Vocm for a DC coupled link, you better think about resistor networks. In a first place I would check if the involved peer can work with the signal level exposed by the transceiver. --- Quote End --- I am confused and didn't get the answer my previous two questions: Question 1: Vocm is 0.4/0.5V CONFUSED: could you give me table or figure number in Datasheet? This is not clear to me. I couldn't find any section which gives this number for Cyclone 10 GX Question 2: is there any relationship between "Output Swing Level (VOD) 0-31 " and Vocm? if VOD is 200 mV or 500 mV, do I still have the same Vocm? CONFUSED: YES??? NO???? Question 3: If I have the same Vocm regardless of VOD value, Can I change the Vocm by changing VCCT voltage value by decreasing or increasing? is there any limitation in terms of minimum or maximum level for VCCT? CONFUSED: Where can I find MAXIMUM or MINUMUM values for VCCT?
