Megafunction ALTIO_BUFF [output differential]: How to take output pins ?

Hi,

If you are configuring ALTIO_BUFF in differential mode & Using Stratix II, Cyclone II, Arria GX, and previous device families then you need to give that pin an I/O standard assignment with a value of "LVDS" or the differential I/O standard that you wish to use & other than these devices family, you need to port both the positive and negative signals to I/O pins.

Please check the following links for more details,
