The Cyclone III device family true LVDS transmitter supports programmable
pre-emphasis. Programmable pre-emphasis is used to compensate the
frequency-dependent attenuation of the transmission line. It increases the amplitude
of the high-frequency components of the output signal, which cancels out much of the
high-frequency loss of the transmission line.
The Quartus II software allows two settings for programmable pre-emphasis
control—0 and 1, in which 0 is pre-emphasis off and 1 is pre-emphasis on. The default
setting is 1. The amount of pre-emphasis needed depends on the amplification of the
high-frequency components along the transmission line. You must adjust the setting
to suit your designs, as pre-emphasis decreases the amplitude of the low-frequency
component of the output signal as well.
For more information about the Cyclone III device family high-speed differential
interface support, refer to the
chapter.
The Cyclone III device family features OCT to provide I/O impedance matching and
termination capabilities. OCT helps to prevent reflections and maintain signal
integrity while minimizing the need for external resistors in high pin-count ball grid
array (BGA) packages. The Cyclone III device family provides I/O driver on-chip
impedance matching and on-chip series termination for single-ended outputs and
bidirectional pins.
When using on-chip series termination, programmable current strength is not
available.
There are two ways to implement OCT in the Cyclone III device family:
