Or go to a different standard altogether -- the various flavors of LVCMOS and LVDCI have fairly fine granularity in drive strength. -mark Ken Cantrell wrote: > Or go to a class 1 if you are using a class 2 (7.2 mA vs 15.7 ma) > > -----Original Message----- > From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Chris Cheng > Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 2:09 PM > To: 'Fabrizio Zanella'; Chris Cheng > Cc: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Reducing SSO noise in an FPGA > > Sure you can, don't you have an external series resistor and parallel > terminator you can play around their values ? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Fabrizio Zanella [mailto:fzanella@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 12:58 PM > To: chris.cheng@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] Re: Reducing SSO noise in an FPGA > > I cannot reduce the drive strength, the drivers are SSTL2.
