Single-Ended I/O Standards in Stratix II Devices
Stratix® II devices support a variety of single-ended I/O standards, including LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, and PCI-X standards. This enables Stratix II devices to easily interface with backplanes, host processors, buses, memory devices, and other board devices. Single-ended systems provide more current drive capacity than differential I/O standards, and they are critical when working with advanced memory devices such as DDR SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, RLDRAM II, and QDRII SRAM devices. Table 1 lists the single-ended I/O standards supported in Stratix II devices.
