Chapter 4: About Design ElementsRAM64MPrimitive: 64-Deep by 4-bit Wide Multi Port Random Access Memory (Select RAM)IntroductionThis design element is a 64-bit deep by 4-bit wide, multi-port, random access memory with synchronous writeand asynchronous independent bit wide read capability. This RAM is implemented using the LUT resources ofthe device (also known as SelectRAM) and does not consume any of the block RAM resources of the device.The RAM64M component is implemented in a single slice, and consists of one 4-bit write, 1-bit read port,and three separate 1-bit read ports from the same memory allowing for 4-bit write and independent bit readaccess RAM. If the DIA, DIB, DIC and DID inputs are all tied to the same data inputs, the RAM can becomea 1 read/write port, 3 independent read port 64x1 quad port memory. If DID is grounded, DOD is not used.While ADDRA, ADDRB and ADDRC are tied to the same address the RAM becomes a 64x3 simple dual portRAM. If ADDRD is tied to ADDRA, ADDRB, and ADDRC; then the RAM is a 64x4 single port RAM. There areseveral other possible configurations for this RAM.Virtex-6 Libraries Guide for HDL DesignsUG623 (v 11.4) December 2, 2009 www.xilinx.com 271
