Table
6–3:
(1) Cyclone IV GX devices only support right I/O pins.
(2) The PCI-clamp diode must be enabled for 3.3-V/3.0-V LVTTL/LVCMOS.
(3) The Cyclone IV architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface feature that allows Cyclone IV devices in all packages to interface with I/O
systems that have different supply voltages.
(4) Cyclone IV GX devices do not support 1.2-V V
or GPIO pins. Configuration scheme is not support at 1.2 V, therefore bank 9 can not be powered up at 1.2-V V
(5) Differential HSTL and SSTL outputs use two single-ended outputs with the second output programmed as inverted. Differential HSTL and SSTL
inputs treat differential inputs as two single-ended HSTL and SSTL inputs and only decode one of them. Differential HSTL and SSTL are only
supported on CLK pins.
(6) PPDS, mini-LVDS, and RSDS are only supported on output pins.
(7) LVPECL is only supported on clock inputs.
(8) Bus LVDS (BLVDS) output uses two single-ended outputs with the second output programmed as inverted. BLVDS input uses LVDS input
buffer.
(9) 1.2-V HSTL input is supported at both column and row I/Os regardless of Class I or Class II.
(10) True LVDS, RSDS, and mini-LVDS I/O standards are supported in left and right I/O pins, while emulated LVDS, RSDS, and mini-LVDS I/O
standards are supported in the top, bottom, and right I/O pins.
Cyclone IV devices support PCI and PCI-X I/O standards at 3.0-V V
PCI and PCI-X I/O are fully compatible for direct interfacing with 3.3-V PCI systems
without requiring any additional components. The 3.0-V PCI and PCI-X outputs meet
the V
margin.

Termination Scheme for I/O Standards
This section describes recommended termination schemes for voltage-referenced and
differential I/O standards.
The 3.3-V LVTTL, 3.0-V LVTTL and LVCMOS, 2.5-V LVTTL and LVCMOS, 1.8-V
LVTTL and LVCMOS, 1.5-V LVCMOS, 1.2-V LVCMOS, 3.0-V PCI, and PCI-X
I/O standards do not specify a recommended termination scheme per the JEDEC
standard
