CPLD XC9500/XL/XV: GSR is not used when using registers that are synchronously reset


Record #8509

Product Family: Hardware

Product Line: 9500

Product Part: 9500

Problem Title:
CPLD XC9500/XL/XV: GSR is not used when using registers that are synchronously reset


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When using a register with Synchronous reset, such as an FDR, the reset is not
mapped to the Global Reset Signal (GSR).


Solution 1:

The only way to emulate a synchronous reset with the XC9500 family register is to gate the reset signal with the D input signal. Hence this is created via Product Terms and the reset signal cannot utilize the GSR.
