DPGEN_BUFF(3)

💖 DPGEN_BUFF — the Buffer Macro-Generator 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight outta the Alliance - genlib User's Manual, and it's literally the manual for DPGEN_BUFF 💅 buckle up, it's cute AND useful.

✨ NAME ✨

DPGEN_BUFF — the Buffer Macro-Generator 🦋 (yes that's the whole name, she's a macro, she generates buffers, iconic)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <genlib.h>

void GENLIB_MACRO (DPGEN_BUFF, char *modelname, long flags, long N, long
drive);

like, that's the whole vibe. one macro call, one buffer, slay ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

She generates an N bits buffer with an output power of drive, and the whole thing is named modelname 🎀

Valid drive values are literally just: 2, 3 or 4. that's it. those are the options. don't try to be cute and pass anything else 💀

🧚 TERMINAL NAMES 🧚

1. i0 : input 👑
2. q : output 🌸
3. vdd : power ⚡
4. vss : ground 🌈

🔥 BEHAVIOR 🔥

q <= i0

no cap, that's the entire behaviour. input goes in, output comes out, the vibes are immaculate, periodt 💅

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's her main character moment fr fr:

GENLIB_MACRO( DPGEN_BUFF
            , "model_buff_32"
            , F_BEHAV|F_PLACE
            , 32
            , 4
            );

GENLIB_LOINS( "model_buff_32"
            , "instance1_buff_32"
            , "i0[31:0]", "q[31:0]"
            , "vdd", "vss", NULL
            );

a 32-bit buffer, drive 4, flags F_BEHAV|F_PLACE, and then she gets instantiated with GENLIB_LOINS — 32 bits of i0 in, 32 bits of q out, vdd and vss doing their power-and-ground thing, and a NULL to close it out. obsessed 🫶
