2005 - LatticeECP3: How do I select between the two Vol Max values 0.4V, or 0.2V documented in the LatticeECP3 device datasheet sysI/O Single-Ended DC Electrical Characteristics?
Vol Max is not a user configurable setting. For any of the LVCMOS pin configurations, under normal operating conditions Vol is specified to be a a maximum of 0.4V regardless of the drive strength that the pin was configured. If the current draw falls below 0.1mA, Vol Max will drop to 0.2V or less. This is true for all of the latest Lattice FPGA devices.
Please refer to section sysI/O Single-Ended DC Electrical Characteristics of the datasheet FPGA-DS-02074.

When we go closer to the rails, the amount of drive we need drops. So, at 0.2 V from the rail, you will see lower than the 4 mA, 8 mA, 12 mA, 16 mA drive. As per the datasheet, it should be lower than the 4 mA, 8 mA, 12 mA, 16 mA but higher than 0.1 ...

LVDS is an I/O signaling characterized with minimum/maximum differential voltages along with a common mode voltage. LVDS signaling is, therefore, independent from a supply voltage. For an external LSVD18 transmitter to drive LatticeECP3 LVDS25: The ...

Yes you can short the two VMON inputs of the Power Manager Device externally to monitor a supply rail. However effective Input Resistance (Rin) of the comparators should be considered thoroughly before connecting it to the supply rail. By shorting ...

Description: Two 5V support options, “PCI_5V” and “LVTTL_5V” were added to the supporting I/O type constraint list for the ispMACH™ 4000 device families. Since the LVTTL I/O type's maximum VIH is 3.6V, you must use the LVTTL_5V I/O type to support 5V ...
