2.10.12 Building RAM and FIFO Modules
RAM and FIFO modules can be generated and included in a design in two different ways:
- Using the SmartGen Core Generator where the user defines the depth and width of the FIFO/RAM, and then instantiates this block into the design (for more information, see the SmartGen, FlashROM, Analog System Builder, and Flash Memory System Builder User’s Guide).
- The alternative is to instantiate the RAM/FIFO blocks manually, using inverters for polarity control and tying all unused data bits to ground.
