Primitive: Bidirectional I/O Buffer with Offset Calibration and VREF Tuning

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

Introduction

The bidirectional input/output buffer primitive (IOBUFE3) is only supported in HP I/O banks. This primitive has functions similar to the IOBUF_DCIEN along with controls for offset calibration and VREF tuning with input buffer disable (IBUFDISABLE) and on-die input termination control (DCITERMDISABLE) for the input buffer. The offset calibration feature is accessed using the OSC_EN and OSC[3:0] ports. The VREF scan feature is accessed using the HPIO_VREF primitive in conjunction with IOBUFE3.

I/O attributes that do not impact the logic function of the component such as IOSTANDARD, DRIVE and IBUF_LOW_PWR should be supplied in XDC or 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
DCITERMDISABLE Input 1 Control to enable/disable DCI termination. This is generally used to reduce power in long periods of an idle state.
I Input 1 Input of OBUF. Connect to the logic driving the output port.
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.
IO Inout 1 Bidirectional port to be connected directly to top-level inout port.
O Output 1 Output path of the buffer.
OSC<3:0> Input 4 Offset cancellation value
OSC_EN Input 1 Offset cancellation enable
T Input 1 3-state enable input signifying whether the buffer acts as an input or output.
VREF Input 1 Vref input from HPIO_VREF
