Introduction
Table 9–6 lists the timing specifications for the SFI-4 framer receiver.
Electrical Specifications
SFI-4 uses LVDS as a high-speed data transfer mechanism to implement
the SFI-4 interface. Table 9–7 lists the DC electrical characteristics for the
interface, which are based on the IEEE Std. 1596.3-1996 7 specification.
For more information on the voltage specification of LVDS I/O standards
in Stratix and Stratix GX devices, see the Stratix Device Family Data Sheet
section of the Stratix Device Handbook, Volume 1 and the High-Speed
Differential I/O Interfaces in Stratix Devices chapter or the Stratix GX Device
Family Data Sheet section of the Stratix GX Device Handbook, Volume 1 and
the High-Speed Differential I/O Interfaces in Stratix Devices chapter.
