Problem Title:
SYNPLIFY: How to set the different I/O standards for Virtex using the xc_padtype attribute?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
How to set the different I/O standards for Virtex using the xc_padtype attribute?

A Virtex only attribute which specifies an I/O buffer standard. For example,
applying AGP to an IBUF would result in the use of an IBUF_AGP instead of an
IBUF primitive.

Values of I/O Standards:

AGP, CTT, F_2, F_4, F_6, F_8, F_12, F_16, F_24, GTL, GTLP, HSTL_I,
HSTL_III, HSTL_IV, LVCMOS2, PCI33_3, PCI33_5, PCI66_3, S_2, S_4,
S_6, S_8, S_12, S_16, S_24, SSTL2_I, SSTL2_II, SSTL3_I, SSTL3_II

Please reference Xilinx Application Note 133 for more information on using
Xilinx I/O standards:

Solution 1:

SDC
---
define_attribute <port> xc_padtype "<i/o_standard>"



Solution 2:

Verilog
------

module test_padtype (a, b, clk, rst, en, bidir, q);
input [3:0] a /* synthesis xc_padtype = "IBUF_AGP" */;
input [3:0] b;
input clk, rst, en;
inout [3:0] bidir /* synthesis xc_padtype = "IOBUF_CTT" */;
output [3:0] q /* synthesis xc_padtype = "OBUF_F_12" */;



Solution 3:

VHDL
----

library ieee, synplify;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use synplify.attributes.all;

entity test_padtype is
   port( a : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
     b : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
    clk, rst, en : in std_logic;
    bidir : inout std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
    q : out std_logic_vector(3 downto 0));
attribute xc_padtype of a : signal is "IBUF_SSTL3_I";
attribute xc_padtype of bidir : signal is "IOBUF_HSTL_III";
attribute xc_padtype of q : signal is "OBUF_S_8";
end entity;
