2.5.12.4. Constant Definition

The constant definition block of the output simulation SPICE deck instantiates the voltage sources that controls the configuration modes of the I/O buffer.

Constant Definition Block

* Constant Definition

voeb       oeb       0     0 * Set to 0 to enable buffer output
vopdrain   opdrain   0     0 * Set to vc to enable open drain 
vrambh     rambh     0     0 * Set to vc to enable bus hold
vrpullup   rpullup   0     0 * Set to vc to enable weak pullup
vpci       rpci      0     0 * Set to vc to enable pci mode
vpcdp4     rpcdp4    0     rp4  * These control bits set the IO standard
vpcdp3     rpcdp3    0     rp3
vpcdp2     rpcdp2    0     rp2
vpcdp1     rpcdp1    0     rp1
vpcdp0     rpcdp0    0     rp0
vpcdn4     rpcdn4    0     rn4
vpcdn3     rpcdn3    0     rn3
vpcdn2     rpcdn2    0     rn2
vpcdn1     rpcdn1    0     rn1
vpcdn0     rpcdn0    0     rn0
vdin       din       0     pulse(0 vc 0s 0.2ns 0.2ns 8.5ns 17.4ns)

Where:

  • Voltage source voeb controls the output enable of the buffer.
  • vopdrain controls the open drain mode for the I/O.
  • vrambh controls the bus hold circuitry in the I/O.
  • vrpullup controls the weak pullup.
  • vpci controls the PCI clamp.
  • The next ten voltage sources control the I/O standard of the buffer and are configured through a later library call.
  • vdin is connected to the data input of the I/O buffer.
  • The edge rate of the input stimulus is automatically set to the correct value by the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
