FDPE is a single D-type flip-flop with data (D), clock enable (CE), and asynchronous preset (PRE) inputs and data output (Q). The asynchronous PRE, when High, overrides all other inputs and sets the Q output High. Data on the D input is loaded into the flip-flop when PRE is Low and CE is High on the Low-to-High clock (C) transition. When CE is Low, the clock transitions are ignored.

For FPGAs, the flip-flop is asynchronously preset, output High, when power is applied. FPGAs simulate power-on when global reset (GR for XC5200) or global set/reset (GSR for XC4000, Spartans, Virtex) is active. The active level of the GR/GSR defaults to active-High but can be inverted by adding an inverter in front of the GR/GSR input of the STARTUP, STARTUP_SPARTAN2, or STARTUP_VIRTEX symbol.

For CPLDs, the flip-flop is asynchronously cleared, output Low, when power is applied. The power-on condition can be simulated by applying a High-level pulse on the PRLD global net.

For XC9500XL and XC9500XV devices, logic connected to the clock enable (CE) input may be implemented using the clock enable product term (p-term) in the macrocell, provided the logic can be completely implemented using the single p-term available for clock enable without requiring feedback from another macrocell. Only FDCE and FDPE flip-flops primitives may take advantage of the clock-enable p-term.
