Figure 6-9 illustrates DCI single termination inside a Virtex-5 device.
Input Termination to V
CCO
/2 (Split Termination)
Some I/O standards (e.g., HSTL Class I and II) require an input termination voltage of
V
CCO
/2 (see Figure 6-10).
This is equivalent to having a split termination composed of two resistors. One terminates
to V
CCO
, the other to ground. The resistor values are 2R. DCI provides termination to
V
CCO
/2 using split termination. The termination resistance is set by the external reference
resistors, i.e., the resistors to V
CCO
and ground are each twice the reference resistor value.
Both HSTL and SSTL standards need 50 Ω external reference resistors. The DCI input
standards supporting split termination are shown in Table 6-1.
