Primitive: Bidirectional Buffer with Input Path Disable and On-die Input Termination Disable

  • PRIMITIVE_GROUP: I/O
  • PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: BIDIR_BUFFER
  • Families: UltraScale, UltraScale+

Introduction

The IOBUF_INTERMDISABLE primitive is available in the HR I/O banks. It has an IBUFDISABLE port that can be used to disable the input buffer during periods that the buffer is not being used. The IOBUF_INTERMDISABLE primitive also has an INTERMDISABLE port that can be used to manually disable the optional on-die receiver termination feature. See the UltraScale Architecture SelectIO Resources User Guide (UG571), "Uncalibrated Input Termination in I/O Banks" for more details.

The IOBUF_INTERMDISABLE primitive can disable the input buffer and force the O output to the internal logic to a logic-Low when the IBUFDISABLE signal is asserted High and the output buffer is 3-stated (T = High). If the I/O is using the on-die receiver termination feature (uncalibrated), this primitive disables the termination legs whenever the INTERMDISABLE signal is asserted High and the output buffer is 3-stated (T = High). When the output buffer is 3-stated (T = High), the input buffer and any on-die receiver termination are controlled by IBUFDISABLE and INTERMDISABLE, respectively. The USE_IBUFDISABLE attribute must be set to TRUE and the SIM_DEVICE set to the appropriate value for this primitive to have the expected behavior that is specific to the architecture. When the output buffer is not 3-stated (T = Low), the input buffer and any on-die receiver termination are disabled and the O output (to the internal logic) is forced to a logic-Low. These features can be combined to reduce power whenever the input is idle for a period of time.

I/O attributes that do not impact the logic function of the component, such as IOSTANDARD and IBUF_LOW_PWR, should be supplied to the top-level port via an appropriate property. For details on applying such properties to the associated port, see the Vivado Design Suite Properties Reference Guide (UG912).

Port Descriptions

Port Direction Width Function
I Input 1 Buffer input representing the output path from the device.
IBUFDISABLE Input 1 Disables input path through the buffer and forces to a logic Low. This feature is generally used to reduce power at times when the I/O is idle for a period of time.
INTERMDISABLE Input 1 Control to enable/disable on-chip input termination. This is generally used to reduce power in long periods of an idle state.
IO Inout 1 Bidirectional I/O port connection. Connect directly to top-level port in the design.
O Output 1 Buffer output representing the input path to the device.
T Input 1 3-state enable input signifying whether the buffer acts as an input or output.
