1.5-V HSTL Class I and 1.5-V HSTL Class II
The 1.5-V HSTL standard is formulated under EIA/JEDEC Standard,
EIA/JESD8-6: A 1.5-V Output Buffer Supply Voltage Based Interface
Standard for Digital Integrated Circuits.
The 1.5-V HSTL I/O standard is used for applications designed to operate
in the 0.0- to 1.5-V HSTL logic nominal switching range. This standard
defines single-ended input and output specifications for all
HSTL-compliant digital integrated circuits. The 1.5-V HSTL I/O standard
in Stratix II and Stratix II GX devices are compatible with the 1.8-V HSTL
I/O standard in APEX™ 20KE, APEX 20KC, and in Stratix II and
Stratix II GX devices themselves because the input and output voltage
thresholds are compatible (Figures 4–7 and 4–8).

Stratix II and Stratix II GX devices support both input and
output levels with VREF and VTT.
