Figure 6-13 illustrates a driver with single termination inside a Virtex-5 device.
Driver with Termination to V
CCO
/2 (Split Termination)
Some I/O standards, such as HSTL Class II, require an output termination to V
CCO
/2 (see
Figure 6-14).
DCI can provide output termination to V
CCO
/2 using split termination. DCI only controls
the impedance of the termination, but not the driver. Both HSTL and SSTL standards need
50 Ω external reference resistors. The DCI output standards supporting drivers with split
termination are shown in Table 6-2.
