I want to achieve LVDS_RX on my Arria II device, is the 100 Ω differential termination resistor built into the FPGA?

Category: Specifications
Tools: Quartus® II
Device: Arria® II


Support for 100 Ω On-Chip Termination (On-Chip Termination/Rd) inside the FPGA on differential input pins in Arria II devices:

■ Arria II GX devices

  • Supported in Top / Bottom / Right I/O banks
  • However, dedicated clock input pins (CLK [4..15]) are not supported


■ Arria II GZ Devices

  • I/O pins in Row (Left & Right) I/O banks and dedicated clock input pins (CLK[0, 2, 9, 11]) are supported
  • Column (Top & Bottom) I/O bank I/O pins and dedicated clock input pins (CLK[1, 3, 8, 10]) are not supported


When constraining, in the Assignment Editor,

To: <input pin>
Assignment Name: Input Termination
Value: Differential

Please compile with the following restrictions.
After compiling, check that Termination is Differential in Fitter ⇒ Resource Section ⇒ Input Pins in the compilation report.

For details, please refer to the document below.
