I/O standards Definition
Standards that uniquely define the input and output (VCCIO) voltage, reference VREF voltage (if applicable), and the types of input and output buffers used for I/O pins.
The following table lists I/O standards and the corresponding Intel® Quartus® Prime Settings File (.qsf) settings keyword.
To see the standards that a device family supports, refer to the device datasheet.
