I/O Characteristics for XSBI, XGMII & XAUI
Software Implementation
You can use the Assignment Organizer in the Altera
®
Quartus
®
II
software to implement the I/O standards for a particular interface. For
example, set the I/O standard to LVDS for XSBI and to HSTL Class I for
XGMII. You can use the MegaWizard
®
Plug-In Manager to create the
PLLs and transmitter and receiver SERDES blocks for the XSBI
implementation and PLLs and DDR input and output circuitry for the
XGMII implementation. For more information on the Assignment
Organizer or MegaWizard Plug-In Manager, see the Quartus II Software
Help.
AC/DC Specifications
Table 8–10 lists the XSBI DC electrical characteristics, similar to Stratix
and Stratix GX devices, that are based on the ANSI/TIA-644 LVDS
specification.
I/O characteristics for the 1.5-V HSTL standard for Stratix and Stratix GX
devices are shown in Figure 8–17 and comply with XGMII electrical
specifications available in 10-Gigabit Ethernet draft IEEE P802.3ae.
