2.3.2.5. Programmable Output Slew Rate Control

You have the option of three settings for programmable slew rate control—0, 1, and 2 with 2 as the default setting. Setting 0 is the slow slew rate and 2 is the fast slew rate.
  • Fast slew rate—provides high-speed transitions for high-performance systems.
  • Slow slew rate—reduces system noise and crosstalk but adds a nominal delay to the rising and falling edges.
Table 8.  Programmable Output Slew Rate Control for Intel® MAX® 10 DevicesThis table lists the single-ended I/O standards and current strength settings that support programmable output slew rate control. For I/O standards and current strength settings that do not support programmable slew rate control, the default slew rate setting is 2 (fast slew rate).

You can specify the slew rate on a pin-by-pin basis because each I/O pin contains a slew rate control. The slew rate control affects both the rising and falling edges.

Note: Intel recommends that you perform IBIS or SPICE simulations to determine the best slew rate setting for your specific application.
