Primitive: Bi-Directional Differential Buffer with Input Termination Disable and Input Disable
Introduction
This design element is a bidirectional differential I/O buffer used to connect internal logic to an external bidirectional pin. This element includes an uncalibrated input termination (INTERM) disable as well as an input path disable as additional power saving features when the I/O is either is an unused state or being used as an output for a sustained amount of time. This element may only be placed in High Range (HR) banks in 7 series devices.
Port Descriptions
Port | Direction | Width | Function |
---|---|---|---|
IO | In/out | 1 | Bi-directional p-side port connection. Connect directly to top-level port in the design. |
IOB | In/out | 1 | Bi-directional n-side port connection. Connect directly to top-level port in the design. |
I | Input | 1 | Buffer input representing the output path to the device. |
IBUFDISABLE | Input | 1 | Disables input path through the buffer and forces to a logic high when USE_IBUFDISABLE is set to "TRUE". If USE_IBUFDISABLE is set to "FALSE" this input is ignored and should be tied to ground. This feature is generally used to reduce power at times when the I/O is either idle or during sustained write (output) conditions. |
INTERMDISABLE | Input | 1 | Disables input termination. This feature is generally used to reduce power at times when the I/O is either idle or during sustained write (output) conditions. |
T | Input | 1 | Sets the I/O in a high impedance 3-state mode when the I/O is being used for a read (input) operation. The T pin also affects the IBUFDISABLE function when USE_IBUFDISABLE = "TRUE". The T pin also disables INTERM when in a write (output) mode. |
O | Output | 1 | Buffer output representing the input path to the device. |

Available Attributes
Attribute | Type | Allowed Values | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
DIFF_TERM | STRING | "TRUE", "FALSE" | "FALSE" | Turns the built-in differential termination on (TRUE) or off (FALSE). |
IBUF_LOW_PWR | STRING | "TRUE", "FALSE" | "TRUE" | Allows a trade off of lower power consumption vs. highest performance when referenced I/O standards are used. |
IOSTANDARD | STRING | See Data Sheet | "DEFAULT" | Assigns an I/O standard to the element. |
SLEW | STRING | "SLOW" or "FAST" | "SLOW" | Sets the output rise and fall time. See the Data Sheet for recommendations of the best setting for this attribute. |
USE_IBUFDISABLE | STRING | "TRUE", "FALSE" | "TRUE" | Enables or disables the feature of IBUFDISABLE. Generally used when it is not desirable to have the T pin disable input path to allow a read during write operation. |
