Bridging the Voltage Gap with FPGAs
Technical Paper
Technical Paper Power is a demanding system design consideration today. New technology advancements, proliferating I/O standards (LVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, SSTL, etc.), legacy support requirements, and the relentless drive to design lower-power systems require most applications to use a mix of power supply and I/O drive voltages.
