INPUT or IN Primitive/Port
| AHDL Syntax | Verilog HDL Example Instantiation | VHDL Syntax | Source | Destination | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in1 : INPUT; | input in1 | in1 : IN | Device I/O or dedicated input pins, or higher levels in the hierarchy tree | All logic functions except BIDIR, VCC, and GND | 
In a Block Design File (.bdf) Definition, you can use the Pin Properties dialog box to specify pin properties for this primitive, such as the pin name and default value.
Note: 
- Assigning an unconnected INPUT primitive to a pin number reserves the pin for future use.
- Only the pin assignments of the top-level entity are used during compilation.
