Primitive: 3-State Differential Signaling I/O Buffer with active-Low
Output Enable
Introduction
The design element is a bidirectional
buffer that supports low-voltage, differential signaling. For the
IOBUFDS, a design level interface signal is represented as two distinct
ports (IO and IOB), one deemed the "master" and the other the "slave."
The master and the slave are opposite phases of the same logical signal
(for example, MYNET_P and MYNET_N). Optionally, a programmable differential
termination feature is available to help improve signal integrity
and reduce external components. Also available is a programmable delay
is to assist in the capturing of incoming data to the device.

Available Attributes
Attribute |
Type |
Allowed Values |
Default |
Description |
DIFF_TERM |
BOOLEAN |
TRUE, FALSE |
FALSE |
Turns the built-in differential termination on (TRUE) or off
(FALSE). |
IBUF_LOW_PWR |
BOOLEAN |
TRUE, FALSE |
TRUE |
When set to TRUE, allows for reduced power when using differential or
referenced (requiring VREF) input standards like LVDS or HSTL. A
setting of FALSE demands more power but delivers
higher performance characteristics. Consult
the7 Series FPGA SelectIO Resources User
Guide (UG471) for details. |
IOSTANDARD |
STRING |
See Data Sheet |
"DEFAULT" |
Assigns an I/O standard to the element. |
SLEW |
STRING |
"SLOW" or "FAST" |
"SLOW" |
Specifies the slew rate of the output driver. Consult the product
Data Sheet for recommendations of the best setting for this attribute. |
