I/O banks on the left and right side of the device support LVDS receiver
(far-end) differential termination.
Table 4–29 shows the Stratix GX device differential termination support.

Notes to Table 4–29:
(1) Clock pin CLK0, CLK2, CLK9, CLK11, and pins FPLL[7..10]CLKdo not support differential termination.
(2) Differential termination is only supported for LVDS because of a 3.3-V VCC IO
.
Table 4–30 shows the termination support for different pin types.
