1.1.5. Stratix V PCML Transmitter to Non-Altera Device Receiver

DC-coupling between a Stratix V transmitter to other non-Altera receivers is supported for the entire data rate range from 611 Mbps to 14.1 Gbps. In this case, you must maintain the non-Altera receiver common mode voltage within +/- 100 mV of the Altera Stratix V transmitter.

Note: You can measure the transmitter common mode voltage at the transmitter pin using a DC multi-meter or a high impedance oscilloscope probe.
