Primitive: Input Buffer with Offset Calibration and VREF Tuning

  • PRIMITIVE_GROUP: I/O
  • PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: INPUT_BUFFER
  • Families: UltraScale, UltraScale+

Introduction

The input buffer (IBUFE3) primitive is only supported in HP I/O banks. This primitive has functions similar to the IBUF_IBUFDISABLE with added controls for offset calibration and VREF tuning, along with input buffer disable (IBUFDISABLE). The offset calibration feature is accessed using the OSC_EN and OSC[3:0] ports. The VREF scan feature is accessed using the HPIO_VREF primitive in conjunction with IBUFE3.

I/O attributes that do not impact the logic function of the component, such as IOSTANDARD, and IBUF_LOW_PWR, should be supplied in XDC or 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). Attributes that impact the functionality, such as SIM_INPUT_BUFFER_OFFSET, must be supplied to the component via a generic_map (VHDL) or parameter (Verilog) to have the correct simulation behavior.

Port Descriptions

Port Direction Width Function
I Input 1 Diff_p Buffer Input. Connect to top-level p-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
OSC<3:0> Input 4 Offset cancellation value
OSC_EN Input 1 Offset cancellation enable
VREF Input 1 Vref input from HPIO_VREF
