Differential I/O Standard Termination
Differential I/O standards typically require a termination resistor between the two
signals at the receiver. The termination resistor must match the differential load
impedance of the bus (refer to Figure 6–7 and Figure 6–8).
Cyclone IV devices support differential SSTL-2 and SSTL-18, differential HSTL-18,
HSTL-15, and HSTL-12, PPDS, LVDS, RSDS, mini-LVDS, and differential LVPECL.
