Primitive: 64-Deep by 1-Wide Static Synchronous RAM

  • PRIMITIVE_GROUP: CLB
  • PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: LUTRAM
  • Families: UltraScale, UltraScale+

Introduction

This design element is a 64-bit deep by 1-bit wide static random access memory (RAM) with synchronous write capability. When the write enable is set Low, transitions on the write clock (WCLK) are ignored and data stored in the RAM is not affected. When WE is set High, any positive transition on WCLK loads the data on the data input (D) into the memory cell selected by the 6-bit address (A5:A0). This RAM block assumes an active-High WCLK. However, WCLK can be active-High or active-Low. Any inverter placed on the WCLK input net is absorbed into the block.

The signal output on the data output pin (O) is the data that is stored in the memory cell defined by the values on the address pins.

You can use the INIT attribute to specify the initial contents of the RAM. If left unspecified, the initial contents default to all zeros.

Logic Table

Mode selection is shown in the following logic table

Inputs Outputs
WE (mode) WCLK D O
0 (read) X X Data
1 (read) 0 X Data
1 (read) 1 X Data
1 (write) D D
1 (read) X Data

Data = memory cell addressed by bits A5:A0

Design Entry Method

Instantiation Yes
Inference Recommended
IP Catalog No

Available Attributes

Attribute Type Allowed Values Default Description
INIT HEX Any 64-bit value All zeros Specifies the initial contents of the RAM.
IS_WCLK_INVERTED BINARY 1'b0 to 1'b1 1'b0 Specifies whether or not to use the optional inversion on the WCLK pin.
