4000EX/XL: Can I use both the Output FF (OFD) and the Output MUX (OMUX2) of an IOB at the same time?



Problem Description:
The 2:1 ouput MUX and the output FF of the 4000EX IOB can not
be used at the same time.


Solution 1:

The output flop and the output mux at the same time. One or
the other drives out the pad.

When the output flop is being used(OFD) :

   IOB.OK is routed to the clock input
   IOB.O is routed to the data input
   IOB.CE is routed to the CE input

When the output mux is being used(OMUX2) :

   IOB.OK is routed to the mux select
   IOB.O is routed to D1
   IOB.CE is routed to D2
