BIDIR or INOUT Primitive/Port
| AHDL Syntax: | Verilog HDL Example Instantiation: | VHDL Syntax: | Source: | Destination: | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| io : BIDIR; | inout io | io : INOUT | TRI or OPNDRN | Device I/O pin | 
If TRI is disabled, external input is allowed. If TRI is enabled and an external signal is applied, signal contention is possible and could damage the device.
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: 
- Only the pin assignments of the top-level entity are used during compilation.
