ABSTRACT:
Programmable logic devices, such as field programmable gate arrays, may have input/output (I/O) circuitry that can be programmed for either differential or single-ended signaling. I/O pins coupled to such programmable I/O circuitry typically have high parasitic input pin capacitance during differential signaling. I/O pins may also have high parasitic input pin inductance. Additional impedance circuit elements such as capacitive or inductive devices are coupled in the programmable I/O circuitry to produce a compensatory impedance that reduces, if not substantially eliminates, the effects of the parasitic input pin capacitance and/or inductance during differential signaling.
