Primitive: 16-Bit Shift Register Look-Up Table (LUT)
- PRIMITIVE_GROUP: CLB
- PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: SRL
Introduction
This design element is a shift register look-up table (LUT). The inputs A3, A2, A1, and A0 select the depth of the shift register.
The shift register can be of a fixed, static depth or it can be dynamically adjusted.
To create a fixed-depth shift register: Drive the A3 through A0 inputs with static values. The depth of the shift register can vary from 1 bit to 16 bits, as determined by the following formula:
Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1
If A3, A2, A1, and A0 are all zeros (0000), the shift register is one bit deep. If they are all ones (1111), it is 16 bits deep.
To change the depth of the shift register dynamically: Change the values driving the A3 through A0 inputs. For example, if A2, A1, and A0 are all ones (111) and A3 toggles between a one (1) and a zero (0), the depth of the shift register changes from 16 bits to 8 bits. Internally, the depth of the shift register is always 16 bits and the input lines A3 through A0 select which of the 16 bits reach the output. The shift register LUT contents are initialized by assigning a four-digit hexadecimal number to an INIT attribute. The first, or the left-most, hexadecimal digit is the most significant bit. If an INIT value is not specified, it defaults to a value of four zeros (0000) so that the shift register LUT is cleared during configuration.
When CE is High, the data (D) is loaded into the first bit of the shift register during the clock (CLK) transition. During subsequent clock transitions, when CE is High, data shifts to the next highest bit position as new data is loaded. The data appears on the Q output when the shift register length determined by the address inputs is reached. When CE is Low, the register ignores clock transitions and retains current data within the shift register.

Port Descriptions
Port | Direction | Width | Function |
---|---|---|---|
CE | Input | 1 | Active-High clock enable |
CLK | Input | 1 | Shift register clock. Polarity is determined by the IS_CLK_INVERTED attribute. |
D | Input | 1 | SRL data input. |
Q | Output | 1 | SRL data output. |
Depth Selection: The value placed on the A0 - A3 inputs specifies the shift register depth. Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1 | |||
A0 | Input | 1 | The value placed on the A0 - A3 inputs specifies the shift register depth. Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1 |
A1 | Input | 1 | The value placed on the A0 - A3 inputs specifies the shift register depth. Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1 |
A2 | Input | 1 | The value placed on the A0 - A3 inputs specifies the shift register depth. Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1 |
A3 | Input | 1 | The value placed on the A0 - A3 inputs specifies the shift register depth. Depth = (8 * A3) + (4 * A2) + (2 * A1) + A0 + 1 |

Available Attributes
Attribute | Type | Allowed Values | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
INIT | HEX | 16'h0000 to 16'hffff | 16'h0000 | Specifies the initial contents in the shift register upon completion of configuration. |
IS_CLK_INVERTED | BINARY | 1'b0 to 1'b1 | 1'b0 | Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion on the clock pin (CLK) of this component. When set to 1 the active edge of the clock is the falling edge. If an external inverter is connected to this pin, the Vivado Design Suite will automatically set this attribute during the opt_design stage so that additional logic is not necessary for changing the clock polarity. |
