LDP is a transparent data latch with asynchronous preset (PRE). When the PRE input is High, it overrides the other inputs and resets the data (Q) output High. Q reflects the data (D) input while gate (G) input is High and PRE is Low. The data on the D input during the High-to-Low gate transition is stored in the latch. The data on the Q output remains unchanged as long as G remains Low.

The latch is asynchronously preset, output High, when power is applied. FPGAs simulate power-on when global set/reset (GSR) is active. For Virtex and Spartan2, GSR defaults to active-High but can be inverted by adding an inverter in front of the GSR input of the STARTUP_SPARTAN2 or STARTUP_VIRTEX symbol.
