SSTL-18 Class I & II - EIA/JEDEC Preliminary Standard JC42.3
The SSTL-18 I/O standard is a 1.8-V memory bus standard. This standard
is similar to SSTL-2 and defines input and output specifications for
devices that are designed to operate in the SSTL-18 logic switching range
0.0 to 1.8 V. SSTL-18 requires a 0.9-V V
REF
and a 0.9-V V
TT
to which the
series and termination resistors are connected. See Figures 4–11 and 4–12
for details on SSTL-18 Class I and II termination. Stratix and Stratix GX
devices support both input and output levels.

Differential SSTL-2 - EIA/JEDEC Standard JESD8-9A
The differential SSTL-2 I/O standard is a 2.5-V standard used for
applications such as high-speed DDR SDRAM clock interfaces. This
standard supports differential signals in systems using the SSTL-2
