OBUFE, OBUFE4, OBUFE8, and OBUFE16 are 3-state buffers with inputs I, I3 - I0, I7 - I0, and I15-I0, respectively; outputs O, O3 - O0, O7 - O0, and O15-O0, respectively; and active-High output enable (E). When E is High, data on the inputs of the buffers is transferred to the corresponding outputs. When E is Low, the output is High impedance (off or Z state). An OBUFE isolates the internal circuit and provides drive current for signals leaving a chip. An OBUFE output is connected to an OPAD or an IOPAD. An OBUFE input is connected to the internal circuit.
