Description

Solution

To define the appropriate I/O standards, you must add them in the User Constraint File (UCF).The next example shows the correct UCF format:

NET "RDat_P(0)" IOSTANDARD = LVDS_25_DCI;

This example defines the RDat_P(0) bit to have an I/O with LVDS 2.5 volts with internal device termination.

Other supported standards are listed below. Each group of signals has different supported standards for each specific device family. Note that Virtex-6 FPGA does not support LVTTL. For Virtex-7 and Kintex-7, "LVDS" is only supported in the 1.8V High-Performance I/O banks and "LVTTL" and "LVDS_25"are only supported in the High-Range I/O Banks.
