READ_WIDTH_A | RAMB18E5: 0, 9, 18, 36 (SDP usage) RAMB36E5: 0, 9, 18, 36, 72 (SDP usage) |
RAMB18E5: 0 RAMB36E5: 0 |
Decimal | Specifies the data width for read port A, including parity bits. In SDP mode, this is the read width including parity bits. |
READ_WIDTH_B | RAMB18E5: 0, 9, 18 RAMB36E5: 0, 9, 18, 36 |
RAMB18E5: 0 RAMB36E5: 0 |
Decimal | Specifies the data width for read port B including parity bits. Not used for SDP memory usage. |
RSTREG_PRIORITY_A | RSTREG, REGCE | RSTREG | String | Selects the priority of RESET or CE for the optional output registers. Applies to all port A outputs in both TDP and SDP memory usage. |
RSTREG_PRIORITY_B | RSTREG, REGCE | RSTREG | String | Selects the priority of RESET or CE for the optional output registers. Applies to all port B outputs in both TDP and SDP memory usage. |
RST_MODE_A | SYNC, ASYNC | SYNC | String | Determines whether RST_A is synchronous or asynchronous input. |
RST_MODE_B | SYNC, ASYNC | SYNC | String | Determines whether RST_B is synchronous or asynchronous input. |
SLEEP_ASYNC | FALSE, TRUE | FALSE | String | Determines if the SLEEP pin is synchronous or asynchronous to the clock. |
SRVAL_A | RAMB18E5: 18-bit hex value RAMB36E5: 36-bit hex value |
RAMB18E5: 18'h00000000
RAMB36E5:
|
Hex | Specifies the initialization value of the output latches or register when the synchronous reset (RSTREG) is asserted. Applies to all port A outputs in both TDP and SDP memory usage. |
SRVAL_B | RAMB18E5: 18-bit hex value RAMB36E5: 36-bit hex value |
RAMB18E5: 18'h00000000
RAMB36E5:
|
Hex | Specifies the initialization value of the output latches or register when the synchronous reset (RSTREG) is asserted. Applies to all port B outputs in both TDP and SDP memory usage. |
WRITE_MODE_A (1) | WRITE_FIRST, NO_CHANGE, READ_FIRST | NO_CHANGE | String | Specifies output behavior of write port A. See Write Modes. |
WRITE_MODE_B (1) | WRITE_FIRST, NO_CHANGE, READ_FIRST | NO_CHANGE | String | Specifies output behavior of write port B. See Write Modes. |
WRITE_WIDTH_A | RAMB18E5: 0, 9, 18 RAMB36E5: 0, 9, 18, 36 |
RAMB18E5: 0 RAMB36E5: 0 |
Decimal | Specifies the data width for write port A, including parity bits. When used as SDP memory, this attribute is not valid. |
