#147277 - Tri-state busses in FPGAs
Inside an FPGA, you could make a 2-to-1 multiplexer with a couple of tri-state buffers driving a common line, or with a little AND-OR network. This picture shows both ways:


What are the considerations that would recommend one of these over the other? On the surface, the first method (with the tri-state buffers) seems like it would involve less hardware and might be a little faster. But I saw something the other day that said it's best to avoid tri-state busses inside an FPGA.

Can anybody say if that's a generally true statement, and if so, why?

Thanks,
