Foundation XVHDL: Using pullups and pulldowns
Description
Keywords: foundation, vhdl, pullup, pulldown, resistor Urgency: Standard
General Description:
Xilinx FPGAs contain internal pullup resistors in the I/O blocks (some also contain pulldowns). These components can be instantiated in your Foundation XVHDL code.
**Note that this solution applies to the Metamor XVHDL compiler only. If using the Express HDL compiler, you may control the insertion of pullups via the Express Constraints GUI.
解决方案
The following example works only for pullups or pulldowns on OUTPUT pins. To use pullups/pulldowns on input pins, you must either place them on a schematic along with the VHDL module, or you may enable the pullup in the EPIC design editor.
--Example of using Pullup
library IEEE; use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;
entity IOB is port (IN1, CLOCK: in std_logic; OUT_PAD: out std_logic); attribute INHIBIT_BUF: boolean; attribute INHIBIT_BUF of OUT_PAD: signal is true;
-- The INHIBIT_BUF attribute prevents the VHDL compiler from -- inferring an OBUF on the OUT_PAD port. This is necessary -- because we are going to instantiate an OBUF onto the port.
end IOB;
architecture PULLUP_EXAMPLE of IOB is
component PULLUP port ( O: out std_logic); end component;
component OBUF port (I: in std_logic; O: out std_logic); end component;
signal OUT_INTERNAL: std_logic; -- This node is the input of the OBUF.
begin
process (CLOCK) begin if CLOCK'event and CLOCK = '1' then OUT_INTERNAL <= IN1; end if; end process;
U1: PULLUP port map (O => OUT_PAD); -- Insert the pullup on the output of the OBUF.
U2: OBUF port map (I => OUT_INTERNAL, O => OUT_PAD);
