OFDE, OFDE4, OFDE8, and OFDE16 are single or multiple D flip-flops whose outputs are enabled by tristate buffers. The flip-flop data outputs (Q) are connected to the inputs of output buffers (OBUFE). The OBUFE outputs (O) are connected to OPADs or IOPADs. These flip-flops and buffers are contained in input/output blocks (IOB) for XC3000 and XC4000. The data on the data inputs (D) is loaded into the flip-flops during the Low-to-High clock (C) transition. When the active-High enable inputs (E) are High, the data on the flip-flop outputs (Q) appears on the O outputs. When E is Low, outputs are high impedance (Z state or Off).

The flip-flops are asynchronously cleared with Low outputs when power is applied. For CPLDs, the power-on condition can be simulated by applying a High-level pulse on the PRLD global net. FPGAs simulate power-on when global reset (GR) or global set/reset (GSR) is active. GR for XC3000 is active-Low. GR for XC5200 and GSR (XC4000, Spartans, Virtex) default 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.
