Block RAM Port Signals
Data-In Buses - DIADI, DIPADIP, DIBDI, and DIPBDIP
Data-in buses provide the new data value to be written into RAM. The regular data-in bus
(DI), plus the parity data-in bus (DIP) when available, have a total width equal to the port
width. For example the 36-bit port data width is represented by DI[31:0] and DIP[3:0], as
shown in Table 1-9 through Table 1-12. See Table 1-13 for SDP mode port name mapping.
Data-Out Buses - DOADO, DOPADOP, DOBDO, and DOPBDOP
Data-out buses reflect the contents of memory cells referenced by the address bus at the
last active clock edge during a read operation. During a write operation (WRITE_FIRST or
READ_FIRST configuration), the data-out buses reflect either the data being written or the
stored value before write. During a write operation in NO_CHANGE mode, data-out
buses are not changed. The regular data-out bus (DO) plus the parity data-out bus (DOP)
(when available) have a total width equal to the port width, as shown in Table 1-9 through
Table 1-12. See Table 1-13 for SDP mode port name mapping.
Cascade In
CASCADEINA, CASCADEINB, CASCADEOUTA, and CASCADEOUTB
The CASCADEIN/CASCADEOUT pins are used to connect two block RAMs to form the
64K x 1 mode (Figure 1-10). The CASCADEIN pins of the upper block RAM are connected
to the CASCADEOUT pins of the lower block RAM of the corresponding ports. When
cascade mode is not used, this pin does not need to be connected. Refer to the Cascadable
Block RAM for further information. Cascading is only available in TDP mode.
DOP[1:0] = DOPADOP[1:0] DOP[1:0] = DOPADOP[1:0] DOP[3:0] = DOPADOP[3:0] DOP[3:0] = DOPADOP[3:0]
DO[31:16] = DOBDO[15:0] DO[63:32] = DOBDO[31:0]
DOP[3:2] = DOPBDOP[1:0] DOP[7:4] = DOPBDOP[3:0]
