- LATCHED
- Overview
- This reserved word defines the output data storage type on devices
- that allow latched outputs. A latched output functions as a
- combinatorial output until the data is latched. Once latched, the
- last data present is held regardless of input changes.

- Definitions
-
- Storage The value that defines the pin or node storage type.
- If you do not specify a storage type, combinatorial is
- the default.
-
- ■ Place the reserved word, latched, after the pin or
- node name in the corresponding statement.
-
- ■ Use either the complete word, latched, or the three
- letter abbreviation, lat.
- ·
- Use
-
- There are two ways to enter the storage type.
-
- ■ Use the declaration segment form, you select the Storage field,
- display the option list, and select an option.
-
- ■ Type the storage value in the appropriate pin or node statement
- in the PDS file using a text editor.
-
- The PALCE29M16 and PALCE29MA16 have programmable latches. The
- polarity of the latch can be inverted by placing a slash, /, in front
- of the .CLKF functional equation. The default is active low enable.
- The following is an example of an active low enable equation:
-
- PIN 1 EN
- PIN 3 IOPIN
- ...
- /IOPIN.CLKF = EN
-
- The following equation provides an active high enable:
-
- IOPIN.CLKF = EN
-
- The final polarity of the latch enable as seen from outside the chip
- is determined by the following conditions.
-
- ■ The polarity of the latch enable as defined in the pin statement
-
- ■ The polarity of the .CLKF functional equation
-
- ■ The polarity of the latch enable on the right-hand side of the
- .CLKF functional equation
-
- The latch enable input controls whether the flip-flop is latched or
- not. On the PAL10H20EG8 and PAL10H20G8 the latch is transparent when
- the gate pin is low. The latch is enabled when the pin is high.
