- PRELOAD
- Overview
- This is the simulation keyword that loads specified values into the
- register outputs. Even if a device does not physically support the
- preload feature, you can simulate the design as if it did, but JEDEC
- test vector generation is turned off.

- Syntax
- Use the keyword in the simulation segment of Boolean and state-machine
- designs.

- Definitions
-
- Prefix The prefix specifies the logic state of the
- corresponding pin, node, or state. Do not leave a
- space between Prefix and Pns. There are two prefixes:
- null and forward slash.
-
- ■ You specify the null prefix to load a logical 1
- into the associated register output. In the
- syntax example, Q0 has a null prefix.
-
- When used in conjunction with a state name, the null
- prefix loads the specified state. In the syntax
- example, PLAYING has a null prefix.
-
- ■ You specify the forward slash, /, to load a
- logical 0 into the associated register output.
- In the syntax example, Q0 has a forward slash
- prefix.
-
- Pns You specify the pin, node, or state to be preloaded
- immediately following the corresponding prefix. You
- can list more than one pin or node. You can also use
- groups and strings.
-
- ·
- Use
- PRELOAD loads specified logic values into the corresponding device
- registers. Therefore, if the signal is inverted between the node and
- pin, the value at the pin will be the inverse of the preloaded value.
-
- Some devices provide a hardware preload feature that is activated by a
- dedicated pin or product term. Use the SETF command for control of
- these preload features.
-
- Note: Even if a device does not physically support the preload
- feature, you can simulate the design as if it did.
-
- PRELOAD places a "P" in the clock field(s) of the JEDEC vector for
- PAL/PLS devices as specified in JEDEC standard 3A. For MACH devices,
- the buried preload vector "B" is used as defined by the JEDEC standard
- 3B.
