About this manual

This document provides an overview of the flexible I/O capabilities available in Stratix and Stratix GX programmable logic devices. It explains how these features support high-performance solutions for complex system designs by connecting to various microprocessors, peripherals, and standard logic functions.

The guide covers specific industry standards supported by the devices, ranging from general-purpose LVTTL/LVCMOS levels (3.3-V, 2.5-V, 1.8-V, 1.5-V) to high-speed interfaces like PCI, AGP, SSTL, HSTL, LVDS, and HyperTransport. It includes performance data for each standard and notes on implementation details such as termination requirements.
