When the IOBUF symbol used supports an I/O standard
that requires a differential amplifier input, the IOBUF auto-
matically configures with a differential amplifier input buffer.
The low-voltage I/O standards with a differential amplifier
input require an external reference voltage input VREF.
The voltage reference signal is “banked” within the Virtex-E
device on a half-edge basis such that for all packages there
are eight independent VREF banks internally. See Figure 38, page 34 for a representation of the Virtex-E I/O banks.
Within each bank approximately one of every six I/O pins is
automatically configured as a VREF input. After placing a dif-
ferential amplifier input signal within a given VREF bank, the
same external source must drive all I/O pins configured as a
VREF input.
IOBUF placement restrictions require any differential ampli-
fier input signals within a bank be of the same standard.
The Virtex-E series supports eight banks for the HQ and PQ
packages. The CS package supports four VCCO banks.
Additional restrictions on the Virtex-E SelectI/O IOBUF
placement require that within a given VCCO bank each
IOBUF must share the same output source drive voltage.
Input buffers of any type and output buffers that do not
require VCCO can be placed within the same VCCO bank.
The LOC property can specify a location for the IOBUF.
An optional delay element is associated with the input path
in each IOBUF. When the IOBUF drives an input flip-flop
within the IOB, the delay element activates by default to
ensure a zero hold-time requirement. Override this default
with the NODELAY=TRUE property.
In the case when the IOBUF does not drive an input flip-flop
within the IOB, the delay element de-activates by default to
provide higher performance. To delay the input signal, acti-
vate the delay element with the DELAY=TRUE property.
3-state output buffers and bidirectional buffers can have
either a weak pull-up resistor, a weak pull-down resistor, or
a weak “keeper” circuit. Control this feature by adding the
appropriate symbol to the output net of the IOBUF (PUL-
LUP, PULLDOWN, or KEEPER).
SelectI/O Properties
Access to some of the SelectI/O features (for example, loca-
tion constraints, input delay, output drive strength, and slew
rate) is available through properties associated with these
features.
Input Delay Properties
An optional delay element is associated with each IBUF.
When the IBUF drives a flip-flop within the IOB, the delay
element activates by default to ensure a zero hold-time
requirement. Use the NODELAY=TRUE property to over-
ride this default.
In the case when the IBUF does not drive a flip-flop within
the IOB, the delay element by default de-activates to pro-
vide higher performance. To delay the input signal, activate
the delay element with the DELAY=TRUE property.
