Primitive: Input Buffer With Input Buffer Disable

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

Introduction

The IBUF_IBUFDISABLE primitive is an input buffer with a disable port that can be used as an additional power saving feature for periods when the input is not used.

The IBUF_IBUFDISABLE 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. The USE_IBUFDISABLE attribute must be set to TRUE and SIM_DEVICE to the appropriate value for this primitive to have the expected behavior specific to the architecture. This feature can be used to reduce power at times when the I/O is idle. Input buffers that use the VREF power rail (such as SSTL and HSTL) benefit the most from the IBUFDISABLE being set to TRUE because they tend to have higher static power consumption than the non-VREF standards such as LVCMOS and LVTTL.

I/O attributes that do not impact the logic function of the component, such as IOSTANDARD, DIFF_TERM, 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 Input port connection. Connect directly to top-level port in the design.
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.
O Output 1 Buffer output representing the input path to the device.

VHDL Instantiation Template

Unless they already exist, copy the following two statements and paste them before the entity declaration.

IBUF_IBUFDISABLE_inst : IBUF_IBUFDISABLE
generic map (
   SIM_DEVICE => "ULTRASCALE", -- Set the device version for simulation functionality (ULTRASCALE)
   USE_IBUFDISABLE => "TRUE"   -- Enable/Disable the IBUFDISABLE pin (FALSE, TRUE, T_CONTROL)

port map (
   O => O,                     -- 1-bit output: Buffer output
