Notes to Table 5–79:
(1) For LVDS and HyperTransport technology output on row I/O pins, the toggle rate derating factors apply to loads
larger than 5 pF. In the derating calculation, subtract 5 pF from the intended load value in pF for the correct result.
For a load less than or equal to 5 pF, refer to Table 5–78 for output toggle rates.
(2) 1.2-V HSTL is only supported on column I/O pins in I/O banks 4,7, and 8.
(3) Differential HSTL and SSTL is only supported on column clock and DQS outputs.
(4) LVPECL is only supported on column clock outputs.
Duty cycle distortion (DCD) describes how much the falling edge of a
clock is off from its ideal position. The ideal position is when both the
clock high time (CLKH) and the clock low time (CLKL) equal half of the
clock period (T), as shown in Figure 5–7. DCD is the deviation of the
non-ideal falling edge from the ideal falling edge, such as D1 for the
falling edge A and D2 for the falling edge B (Figure 5–7). The maximum
DCD for a clock is the larger value of D1 and D2.
