Primitive: D Flip-Flop with Clock Enable and Asynchronous Preset

  • PRIMITIVE_GROUP: REGISTER
  • PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: SDR

Introduction

This design element is a single D-type flip-flop with clock enable and asynchronous preset.
  • When clock enable (CE) is High and asynchronous preset (PRE) is not asserted, the data on the data input (D) of this design element is transferred to the corresponding data output (Q) during the clock (C) transition.
  • When PRE is asserted, it overrides all other inputs and presets the data output (Q) High.
  • When CE is Low, clock transitions are ignored.
This flip-flop is asynchronously initialized when power is applied. When global set/reset (GSR) is active upon power-up or when GSR is asserted, the value of the INIT attribute is placed on the register's output.

Port Descriptions

Port Direction Width Function
C Input 1 Clock input. Polarity is determined by the IS_C_INVERTED attribute.
CE Input 1 Active-High register clock enable.
D Input 1 Data input
PRE Input 1 Asynchronous preset. Polarity is determined by the IS_PRE_INVERTED attribute.
Q Output 1 Data output.

Available Attributes

Attribute Type Allowed Values Default Description
INIT BINARY 1'b1, 1'b0 1'b1 Sets the initial value of Q output after configuration or when GSR is asserted.
Programmable Inversion Attributes: Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion on specific pins for this component to change the active polarity of the pin function. When set to 1 on a clock pin (C), it creates a negative edge register. When set to 1 on other pins, it changes the function to behave active-Low rather than active-High. If an external inverter is specified on one of these associated pins, the Vivado Design Suite will automatically set this attribute during the opt_design stage so that additional logic is not necessary for changing the input polarity.
IS_C_INVERTED BINARY 1'b0 to 1'b1 1'b0 Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion for the C pin of this component.
IS_D_INVERTED BINARY 1'b0 to 1'b1 1'b0 Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion for the D pin of this component. Must be set to 0 unless used as an I/O register.
IS_PRE_INVERTED BINARY 1'b0 to 1'b1 1'b0 Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion for the PRE pin of this component.
