Figure 1. Interface Specification Parameters
- Lookup Rate
- This is the supported lookup rate of the CAM instance expressed in million lookups per second (Mlps). To save resources, it is important not to set the lookup rate higher than required.
- Lookup Interface Frequency
-
This is the clock frequency for the Lookup Request and Response Interfaces specified in MHz.
- Enable Flow Control
- Enable flow control for the lookup interface output. Flow control adds extra
FIFOs for SINGLE_CLOCK mode, so that the lookups can be stopped. Flow
control is not needed if the
m_axis_lkup_treadyport is always high when the lookup response arrives. - Clocking Mode
- The options available in this drop-down menu are
SINGLE_CLOCK and
DUAL_CLOCK. When
SINGLE_CLOCK mode is selected,
the configuration parameter
RAM Frequencyis not available. - RAM Frequency
- This is the clock frequency for the memories (block RAM/Ultra RAM) and the
internal data base, specified in MHz. Specifying a higher frequency RAM
clock enables time division of the hardware resources, leading to
significant resource savings. This configuration parameter is only available
when
CLOCKING_MODE = DUAL_CLOCKis selected.Note: When you setCLOCKING_MODE = SINGLE CLOCK, the value ofRAM_FREQ = LOOKUP_INTERFACE_FREQ. - Enable Indirect Addressing
- Address bus is fixed at 13 bits. Addresses are written to an indirection register before performing the actual read or write. Direct addressing adjusts the address bus width to enable direct access to the Block RAM, Ultra RAM, and DRAM (requires fewer write operations).
