Does anyone know if the LATTICE ECP2M FPGA's have on die Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) matching for input LVDS? I am designing a x4 lane PCIe digitiser card with the National 500MSPS ADC and the ECP2M FPGA. The ADC output 32 pair LVDS and I have read the FPGA datasheet but there is no mention of DCI?? Thanks slkjas

Look for ZRX-TERM in the data sheet.

The LatticeECP2M devices, being a low-cost SERDES solution, do not support Digitally Controled Impedance matching for the general purpose LVDS inputs. Only the SERDES receivers have the selectable termination as mentioned by JSalk. The LatticeSC devices are a full featured SERDES solution that include among other things, Programmable On-Die Termination (ODT). ODT allows the LatticeSC devices to provide the capibility of to implement many kinds of termination on-chip, minimizing stub lengths and hence improving performance.
