Cyclone 10 LVDS on DIFFCLK lines

[Ms_G]

HI,

Can I use DIFFCLK_[0..7]p and DIFFCLK_[0..7]n pairs as LVDS input pins on Cyclone 10 LP device?

Thanks

Hi,
according to my reading of pinout table, it's not possible.

Thanks FvM, Can I use atleast as Input pins to read push buttons or dip switches.

Yes, free clock inputs can be used as single ended inputs. Other than regular IO they don't provide weak-pullup resistors for unused pins, thus unused clocks should be connected to ground, as stated in pin connection guideline and Quartus .pin file.

Thanks, Much appreciated.
