Abstract

See full text

In accordance with the present invention, an FPGA input/output buffer including at least two registers is provided. A first register provides the FPGA output through a tristate buffer to the pad or pin. A second register controls the state of the tristate buffer. By placing an address on address lines controlling the register clocks, any selected one of the input/output buffers can be accessed. In one embodiment, separate addresses are provided for loading a tristate control value into the second register and for loading data into the first register.
