BLVDS
The LatticeECP2/M devices support the BLVDS standard. This standard is emulated using complementary LVC-
MOS outputs in conjunction with a parallel external resistor across the driver outputs. BLVDS is intended for use
when multi-drop and bi-directional multi-point differential signaling is required. The scheme shown in Figure 3-2 is
one possible solution for bi-directional multi-point differential signals.
