HSIO Differential Clock Output VOD and VOCM

Dear Intel Support Team, We are using the Agilex 5 FPGA A5ED065BB32AI4S in our design. We plan to use an HSIO differential clock output from the FPGA and connect this output to the differential clo...

    Hi,

    For the FPGA receiver, the key parameters are VID and VICM.

    From the schematic, the 10 kΩ/30 kΩ divider biases both inputs to approximately 0.75 × VIO_BANK0 (≈0.9 V for a 1.2 V bank), which falls within the documented True Differential Signaling receiver common-mode range. Therefore, the bias network itself appears compatible with the Agilex 5 HSIO receiver requirements. The remaining check is that the incoming differential clock meets the specified VID range and uses the recommended differential termination.
