2.1.1. Simple Dual-Port RAM Parameterizable Macro Port Descriptions

Table 1.  Simple Dual-Port RAM Parameterizable Macro Port Descriptions
Port Type Required Description
clock0 Input Yes The following describes which clock to connect to the clock0 port and how it affects port synchronization in different clocking modes:
  • Single Clock Mode: Connect your clock to clock0. This clock synchronizes all registered ports.
  • Read/Write Clock Mode: Connect the write clock to clock0. This clock synchronizes all registered write-side ports, such as data_a, address_a, wren_a, and byteena_a.
  • Input/Output Clock Mode: Connect your input clock to clock0. This clock synchronizes all registered input ports.
  • Independent Clocks Mode: Connect the Port A clock to clock0. This clock synchronizes all registered input and output ports associated with Port A.
clock1 Input Optional The following describes which clock to connect to the clock1 port and how it affects port synchronization in different clocking modes:
  • Single Clock Mode: clock1 is not used. All registered ports are synchronized by clock0.
  • Read/Write Clock Mode: Connect the read clock to clock1. This clock synchronizes all registered read-side ports, such as address_b and rden_b.
  • Input/Output Clock Mode: Connect the output clock to clock1. This clock synchronizes all registered output ports.
  • Independent Clocks Mode: Connect the Port B clock to clock1. This clock synchronizes all registered input and output ports associated with Port B.
clocken0 Input Optional Clock enable input for clock0 port.
clocken1 Input Optional Clock enable input for clock1 port.
aclr0 Input Optional Asynchronous clear port. Clears the registered input and output ports clocked by clock0.
aclr1 Input Optional Asynchronous clear port. Clears the registered input and output ports clocked by clock1.
sclr Input Optional Synchronous clear port. Clears the registered data output ports.
data_a Input Yes Data input port at port A.
address_a Input Yes Address port at port A.
wren_a Input Optional (Always pull low if not connected) Write enable port at Port A.
byteena_a Input Optional Byte enable port at Port A to mask the data_a port so that only specific bits of the data are written to the memory.
address_b Input Optional Address port at port B.
rden_b Input Optional Read enable port for port B.
q_b Output Yes Data output port at port B. The width of q_b port must be equal to the width of data_b port.
addressstall_a Input Optional Address clock enable input to hold the previous address of address_a port for provided that the addressstall_a port is high.
addressstall_b Input Optional Address clock enable input to hold the previous address of address_b port for provided that the addressstall_b port is high.
