14 years agoVicm for REFCLK in Cyclone IV GX
Hi everyone!
I'm developing PCB based on CIV GX. I use schematic of "CIV GX DevKit Board" as reference. (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyclone-iv-starter.html) There is mismatch between CIV Handbook and reference schematic. Namely, it is recommended to use Vicm = 1100mV for REFCLK input in Handbook (quote: "...needs off-chip resistor to restore Vcm"). But I don't see using of Vicm in reference schematic. There is only one 100 Ohm resistor as termination of LVDS near REFCLKp/n pins. What is right ? Thank you.
