2.5.2.3. LVPECL Termination
The Stratix® 10 devices support the LVPECL I/O standard on input clock pins only:
- LVPECL input operation is supported using LVDS input buffers.
- LVPECL output operation is not supported.
Use AC coupling if the LVPECL common-mode voltage of the output buffer does not match the LVPECL input common-mode voltage.
Note: Altera recommends that you use IBIS models to verify your LVPECL AC/DC-coupled termination.
Figure 22. LVPECL AC-Coupled External Termination
Support for DC-coupled LVPECL is available if the LVPECL output common mode voltage is within the Stratix® 10 LVPECL input buffer specification.
