The IFDX D-type flip-flop is contained in an input/output block (IOB). The input (D) of the flip-flop is connected to an IPAD or an IOPAD (without using an IBUF). The D input provides data input for the flip-flop, which synchronizes data entering the chip. The data on input D is loaded into the flip-flop during the Low-to-High clock (C) transition and appears at the output (Q). The clock input can be driven by internal logic or through another external pin. When CE is Low, flip-flop outputs do not change.

The flip-flops are asynchronously cleared with Low outputs when power is applied. FPGAs simulate power-on when global set/reset (GSR) is active. GSR defaults to active-High but can be inverted by adding an inverter in front of the GSR input of the STARTUP, STARTUP_SPARTAN2, or STARTUP_VIRTEX symbol.

For information on legal IFDX, IFDX_1, ILDX, and ILDX_1 combinations, refer to the “ILDX, 4, 8, 16” section.
