18.3.1 Input Buffers

A 500K input buffers have the following features:

  • CMOS voltage levels for 2.5 V and 3.3 V
  • Optional pull-up resistor
  • ESD protection circuitry
  • Latch-up protection circuitry

Input Buffer Naming Conventions

The names for the input buffers are composed of up to four parts:

  • A base name indicating the type of input buffer (IB for input with positive pad logic, IBN with negative pad logic)
  • The number code 25 or 33 indicating a 2.5 or 3.3 voltage level
  • A two character code indicating low power pad voltage (LP)
  • An optional one character code (U) designating a pull-up resistor. When the buffer has no resistor, this code is omitted.
IB25
An input buffer with 2.5 CMOS voltage levels and no pull-up resistor.
IB33U
An input buffer with 3.3 CMOS voltage levels and pull-up resistor.
