Primitive: Differential Input Buffer With Input Buffer Disable
- PRIMITIVE_GROUP: I/O
- PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: INPUT_BUFFER
Introduction
This primitive is a differential input buffer with input disable for additional power savings when the input data is not needed. The USE_IBUFDISABLE attribute must be set to TRUE and the SIM_DEVICE to the appropriate value for this primitive to have the expected architecture specific behavior.
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.
Port Descriptions
| Port | Direction | Width | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | Input | 1 | Diff_p Buffer Input. Connect to top-level p-side input port. |
| IB | Input | 1 | Diff_n Buffer Input. Connect to top-level n-side input 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. |
| O | Output | 1 | Buffer output |
Design Entry Method
| Instantiation | Yes |
