5.8.1. Programmable Current Strength

You can use the programmable current strength to mitigate the effects of high signal attenuation that is caused by a long transmission line or a legacy backplane.

Table 50.  Programmable Current Strength Settings for Arria® V DevicesThe output buffer for each Arria® V device I/O pin has a programmable current strength control for the I/O standards listed in this table.

For the Arria® V GZ devices, the 3.3 V LVTTL and 3.3 V LVCMOS I/O standards are supported using V CCIO and V CCPD at 3.0 V .

Note: Altera recommends that you perform IBIS or SPICE simulations to determine the best current strength setting for your specific application.
