XSI Libraries 2.1i: Bidirectional I/O has extra inversion inferred (IOBUF_N)


Record #7470

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: xsi-libs

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:
XSI Libraries 2.1i: Bidirectional I/O has extra inversion inferred (IOBUF_N)


Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot

General Description:
When creating a bidirectional I/O, Synopsys Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler will use an IOBUF_N component. With Xilinx version 1.5i or earlier, this represented a standard bidirectional I/O with no inversions, but that functionality changed with 2.1i, as inversion was now introduced on the input buffer.

This results in a functionally incorrect netlist.


Solution 1:

This problem is fixed in the latest 2.1i Service Pack available at:
