5.1.6.2. LVDS SERDES Intel® FPGA IP Pin Settings

The number of pin settings available depends on the Number of RX channels and Number of TX channels you specify in the General Settings tab. Each byte and pin pair combination must be unique in the LVDS interface across receivers and transmitters. The combination of the channel byte and pins, and which I/O lane you place the channel byte, determines the pins locations within the I/O bank.

Before configuring the Pin Settings tab, Intel recommends that you first plan your LVDS interface channels placement. Refer to the related information.
