EXTRACT_RESET controls whether registers infer resets. Typically, the Vivado tools extract or not extract resets based on heuristics that typically benefit the most amount of designs. In cases where Vivado is not behaving in a desired way, this attribute overrides the default behavior of the tool. If there is an undesired synchronous reset going to the flip-flop, this attribute can force it to the D input logic. Conversely, if the tool is not inferring a reset that is specified in the RTL, this attribute can tell the tool to move that reset to the dedicated reset of the flop. This attribute can only be used with synchronous resets; asynchronous resets are not supported with this attribute.
This is a way for user to indicate on a granular level whether they want reset logic on control path or data path.
- Architecture Support
- All architectures.
- Applicable Objects
- The EXTRACT_RESET attribute can be placed on the cells, ports and nets.
- Values
-
-
TRUE
(orYES
): The enable will go directly go to the pin (R) of the register. -
FALSE
(orNO
): The reset will not go to the reset pin (R) of the register.
