SLEW_RATE<br />

SLEW_RATE<br />

Type<br />

Implements control of low-to-high/high-to-low transitions on output pins to help<br />

reduce switching noise. When a large number of output pins switch simultaneously,<br />

pins that use the lower Slew Rate option help reduce switching noise. This option is<br />

ignored if it is applied to anything other than an output or bidirectional pin, or a toplevel<br />

design entity containing output or bidirectional pins. Note that using this option<br />

may increase the delay for output or bidir pins, which can affect slack on t CO paths for<br />

the pins this is applied to.<br />

This option specifies a slew rate setting for the single-ended output buffer of a pin.<br />

Since an input-only pin does not use single-ended output buffer, this option is ignored<br />

on such pin. This option is not supported on a pin with I/O standard which uses true<br />

differential output buffer such as LVDS. Some differential I/O standards are<br />

implemented with two single-ended output buffers and therefore this option may be<br />

supported. Please refer to the family data sheet for which I/O standards support<br />

programmable slew rate. This option can only be supported on pin locations that<br />

support programmable slew rate. Dedicated programming pins, such as TDO, do not<br />

support programmable slew rate. Please refer to the family data sheet for which<br />

current strength and output termination settings support programmable slew rate.<br />

Output termination with Calibration usually requires highest slew rate setting. 0 is<br />

the slowest slew rate value. The higher the value the faster the slew rate. The highest<br />

slew rate value is family dependent. A pin using this option should also use<br />

IO_STANDARD option.<br />

Integer<br />

Device Support<br />

The value must be between these two numbers, inclusive: 0, 3<br />

This setting can be used in projects targeting the following device families:<br />

■ Arria V<br />

■ Cyclone <strong>II</strong>I<br />

■ Cyclone <strong>II</strong>I LS<br />

■ Cyclone IV E<br />

■ Cyclone IV GX<br />

■ Cyclone V<br />

■ HardCopy <strong>II</strong>I<br />

■ HardCopy IV<br />

■ Stratix <strong>II</strong>I<br />

■ Stratix IV<br />
