Abstract

Programmable logic device integrated circuitry having differential I/O circuitry is provided. The differential I/O circuitry may include output drivers for providing differential digital output data signals across pairs of output lines. A user may program the I/O circuitry to accommodate different high-speed differential I/O signaling standards. The user may also program the I/O circuitry to provide a desired amount of preemphasis to the output data signals.
