Differential HSTL and SSTL
Differential HSTL and SSTL outputs are implemented as a pair of complementary single-ended outputs. All allow-
able single-ended output classes (class I and class II) are supported in this mode.
MLVDS
The LatticeSC devices support the MLVDS standard. This industry standard is emulated using controlled imped-
ance complementary LVCMOS outputs in conjunction with a parallel external resistor across the driver outputs.
MLVDS is intended for use when multi-drop and bi-directional multi-point differential signaling is required. The
scheme shown in Figure 3-1 is one possible solution for bi-directional multi-point differential signals.
