When remote RX termination is floating VMGTAVTT – DVPPOUT/2 mV
When remote RX is terminated to VRX_TERM 2 mV
VCMOUTAC Common mode output voltage: AC coupled Equation based VMGTAVTT – DVPPOUT/2 mV
RIN Differential input resistance – 100 – Ω
ROUT Differential output resistance – 100 – Ω

  1. The output swing and pre-emphasis levels are programmable using the GTY transceiver attributes discussed in the UltraScale Architecture GTY Transceivers User Guide (UG578) and can result in values lower than reported in this table.
  2. VRX_TERM is the remote RX termination voltage.
  3. Other values can be used as appropriate to conform to specific protocols and standards.
