Delay on Virtex-II IOB input FF

Mar 07, 2004 0 Replies

Hello, I have been simulating a simple 1-bit register using Xilinx XST tools and ModelSim. The VHDL code implements a register with asynchronous reset (clear). The register gets mapped on to the Virtex-II IOB input FF. When I run the Post-Place and Route simulation, for some reason the FF output remains cleared for more than 100 ns before it starts to work properly. I am clocking the FF at



25 MHz. Changing the clock speed does not change this behaviour. The reset line is only asserted for one clock cycle during start up. Also, changing the implementation to synchronous reset makes no difference. Does anybody have any explanation for this behaviour?
