Primitive: Differential Bidirectional Buffer with Complementary Outputs, Input Path Disable, and On-die Input Termination Disable
- PRIMITIVE_GROUP: I/O
- PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: BIDIR_BUFFER
Introduction
It has complementary differential outputs, an IBUFDISABLE port, and a DCITERMDISABLE port that can be used to manually disable the optional DCI on-die receiver termination features (uncalibrated or DCI). The USE_IBUFDISABLE attribute must be set to TRUE and SIM_DEVICE to the appropriate value for this primitive to have the expected behavior that is specific to the architecture. TM and TS must be connected to the same input from the interconnect logic for this primitive to have the expected behavior that is specific to the architecture.
If the I/O is using any on-die receiver termination features (uncalibrated or DCI), this primitive disables the termination legs whenever the DCITERMDISABLE signal is asserted High and the output buffer is 3-stated. When the output buffer is 3-stated (T = High), any on-die receiver termination (uncalibrated or DCI) is controlled by DCITERMDISABLE. When the output buffer is not 3-stated (T = Low), the input buffer and on-die receiver termination (uncalibrated or DCI) are disabled and the O output (to the internal logic) is forced to a logic-Low.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | The IBUFDISABLE feature is not supported with this primitive in the UltraScale architecture. This port must be tied to logic '0'. |
| IO | Inout | 1 | Bidirectional diff_p port to be connected directly to top-level inout port. |
| IOB | Inout | 1 | Bidirectional diff_n port to be connected directly to top-level inout port. |
| O | Output | 1 | Output path of the buffer. |
| OB | Output | 1 | Output path of the buffer. |
| TM | Input | 1 | 3-state enable input for the p-side or master side signifying whether the buffer acts as an input or output. This pin must be connected to the same signal as the TS input. |
| TS | Input | 1 | 3-state enable input for the n-side or slave side signifying whether the buffer acts as an input or output. This pin must be connected to the same signal as the TM input. |
