LVDS output pins of Altera Cyclone II

Hi,

does anybody know how to switch of the LVDS output pins of a Cyclone 
II?

I use the "alt_lvds" megafunction but there are no inputs to this 
megafuction to enable or disable the LVDS output pins.

I thought about writing my own serializer as a workaround but I have 
no idea how this is done. But it should be possible by using the 
double data rate IOs and some shift registers.

Thanks.

Setting an output pin to LVDS is not part of the megafunction.  You can use 
the assignment editor to accomplish what you want.

Writing your own serailizer usually takes a fairly good understanding of the 
hardware, setup/hold times, and jitter.
