Which "Input Termination" option in the Assignment Editor should I use for LVDS receivers?

Description

The correct "Input Termination" option to use is "DIFFERENTIAL"

 

The resulting variable is added to the qsf file.

 

set_instance_assignment -name INPUT_TERMINATION DIFFERENTIAL -to <input_pin>

 

Check the respective device handbook to verify if differential termination is supported for the device family you are using.

 

When using the ALTLVDS megafunction for dedicated SERDES the Quartus® II fitter will automatically assign the LVDS standard for the I/O pins, however you will need to make the differential termination assignment for the LVDS receivers.
