It is not recommended to float a CPLD I/O, as it consumes extra current than if held in a
known state. You should select float as a termination mode only if the pin has external
terminations.
The termination modes can either be selected globally, as CPLDFit options, or on a
pin-by-pin basis using constraints.

There is a drop-down menu for the Input and Tristate I/O termination mode. For the
CoolRunner-II and CoolRunner XPLA3, there is a drop-down menu for the Unused I/O
Pad termination. However, if the design targets an XC9500, XC9500XL, or XC9500XV,
there are only two options for the unused termination; by default, this is float. The user has
the option to Create Programmable Ground pins on Unused I/Os; if this check box is
ticked, the pin can be considered as outputs driving low.
To constrain the termination on a pin-by-pin basis, use the following UCF example:
NET "My_NET" KEEPER;
For more information on the constraints syntax, see the Constraints Guide in the software
manuals, found at:

It is not possible or necessary to select a termination mode for output pins. The output of a
macro cell, which drives the output, will always be at logic 1 or logic 0. Therefore, there is
no need to terminate the output. Outputs that are in a Tristate condition can be terminated.
The bus-hold or keeper is present in the CoolRunner-II, XC9500, XC9500XL, and
XC9500XV families. It is internal circuitry that will drive the last known value on the I/O
into the device. The bus-hold circuit is only on when the device is in user mode and keeper
termination mode is selected. Therefore, if the device is unconfigured or in the In-System-
