When using the ALTLVDS_TX megacore to achieve a high speed LVDS interface, is there pre-emphasis on the transmit side LVDS?
The LVDS transmit buffer has pre-emphasis and Vod settings.
Taking the Stratix IV device as an example, there are 4 pre-emphasis settings (Zero, Low, Medium, High, default setting is Low) and 4 Vod settings (Low, Medium Low, Medium High, High, default setting is , Low).
You can set this setting from the Quartus II Assignment Editor.
For details on setting values, refer to the Device Handbook of each device.
Below is an example of where to describe the supported device.
