2.4.1.3. Single-Ended I/O Standards External Termination

The SSTL, HSTL, POD, and LVSTL I/O standards require a termination voltage. The internally-generated reference voltage of the receiving device tracks the termination voltage of the transmitting device.

Altera recommends that you use OCT with these I/O standards to save board space and cost. OCT reduces the number of external termination resistors required.

Note: You cannot use RS and RT OCT simultaneously. For more information, refer to the related information.
