This chapter describes the high-speed differential I/O features and resources in the
Cyclone III device family.
High-speed differential I/O standards have become popular in high-speed interfaces
because of their significant advantages over single-ended I/O standards. The Altera
Cyclone
BLVDS, reduced swing differential signaling (RSDS), mini-LVDS, and point-to-point
differential signaling (PPDS).

Cyclone III device family I/Os are separated into eight I/O banks, as shown in
Figure
LVDS, RSDS, mini-LVDS, and PPDS are on the left and right I/O banks. These I/O
standards are also supported on the top and bottom I/O banks using external
resistors. On the left and right I/O banks, some of the differential pin pairs (p and n
pins) of the true output drivers are not located on adjacent pins. In these cases, a
power pin is located between the p and n pins. These I/O standards are also
supported on all I/O banks using two single-ended output with the second output
programmed as inverted, and an external resistor network. True input buffers for
these I/O standards are supported on all I/O banks.

pins, refer to the
