ILDI is a transparent data latch, which can hold transient data entering a chip. When the gate input (G) is High, data on the input (D) appears on the output (Q). Data on the D input during the High-to-Low G transition is stored in the latch.
The latch is asynchronously preset, output High, when power is applied. FPGAs simulate power-on when global set/reset (GSR) is active. GSR (XC4000, Spartans) default to active-High but can be inverted by adding an inverter in front of the GSR input of the STARTUP symbol.
ILDIs and IFDIs
The ILDI is actually the input flip-flop master latch. It is possible to access two different outputs from the input flip-flop: one that responds to the level of the clock signal and another that responds to an edge of the clock signal. When using both outputs from the same input flip-flop, a transparent High latch (ILDI) corresponds to a falling edge-triggered flip-flop (IFDI_1). Similarly, a transparent Low latch (ILDI_1) corresponds to a rising edge-triggered flip-flop (IFDI).
Refer to the following figure for legal IFDI, IFDI_1, ILDI, and ILDI_1 combinations.
