13 years agoHi John,
--- Quote Start --- The FPGA device is EP4CE22E22C7 and supports OCT but it didn't work with the OCT resistance. Only when I reduce the slew rate to the slowest it works better but not as good as when I use the capacitor. --- Quote End --- Thanks for the feedback. If you're involved with the design of a new board, its always a good idea to place an external source termination on any point-to-point clock-like signal. If you have a clock-like signal going multiple places, then you can use dual-source terminations, or add buffers, and source terminate the buffers. Ringing clock edges can ruin your day :) Cheers, Dave
