IOBUF_INTERMDISABLE - 2024.1 English

Primitive: Bi-Directional Single-ended Buffer with Input Termination Disable and Input Path Disable

Introduction

The design element is a bidirectional single-ended I/O Buffer used to connect internal logic to an external bidirectional pin. This element include uncalibrated input termination (INTERM) disable as well as input path disable as additional power saving features when the I/O is either is an unused state or being used as an output for several clock cycles. This element may only be placed in High Range (HR) banks in the 7 series devices.

Port Descriptions

Port	Direction	Width	Function
O	Output	1	Buffer output representing the input path to the device.
IO	In/out	1	Bi-directional port connection. Connect directly to top-level port in the design.
I	Input	1	Buffer input representing the output path to the device.
IBUFDISABLE	Input	1	Disables input path through the buffer and forces to a logic high when USE_IBUFDISABLE is set to "TRUE". If USE_IBUFDISABLE is set to "FALSE" this input is ignored and should be tied to ground. This feature is generally used to reduce power at times when the I/O is either idle or during sustained write (output) conditions.
INTERMDISABLE	Input	1	Disables input termination. This feature is generally used to reduce power at times when the I/O is either idle or during sustained write (output) conditions.
T	Input	1	Sets the I/O in a high impedance 3-state mode when the I/O is being used for a read (input) operation. The T pin also affects the IBUFDISABLE function when USE_IBUFDISABLE = "TRUE". The T pin also disables INTERM when in a write (output) mode.

Available Attributes

Attribute	Type	Allowed Values	Default	Description
DRIVE	INTEGER	2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24	12	Selects output drive strength (mA) for the SelectIO™ buffers.
IBUF_LOW_PWR	STRING	"TRUE", "FALSE"	"TRUE"	Allows a trade off of lower power consumption vs. highest performance.
IOSTANDARD	STRING	See Data Sheet	"DEFAULT"	Assigns an I/O standard to the element.
SLEW	STRING	"SLOW", "FAST"	"SLOW"	Sets the output rise and fall time. See the Data Sheet for recommendations of the best setting for this attribute.
USE_IBUFDISABLE	STRING	"TRUE", "FALSE"	"TRUE"	Enables or disables the feature of IBUFDISABLE. Generally used when it is not desirable to have the T pin disable input path to allow a read during write operation.
