Specific Guidelines for I/O Supported Standards
Transmitter Termination
The Virtex-5 FPGA LVDS transmitter does not require any external termination. Table 6-36
lists the allowed attributes corresponding to the Virtex-5 FPGA LVDS current-mode
drivers. Virtex-5 FPGA LVDS current-mode drivers are a true current source and produce
the proper (EIA/TIA compliant) LVDS signal.
Receiver Termination
Figure 6-87 is an example of differential termination for an LVDS receiver on a board with
50 Ω transmission lines.
Figure 6-88 is an example of a differential termination for an LVDS receiver on a board with
50 Ω transmission lines.
Table 6-36 lists the available Virtex-5 FPGA LVDS I/O standards and attributes supported.
