EMBEDDED RAMS

FONT SIZE : AAA

Many applications require the use of memory, so FPGAs now include relatively  large chunks of embedded RAM called e-RAM or block RAM . Depending on  the architecture of the component, these blocks might be positioned around the  periphery of the device, scattered across the face of the chip in relative isolation, or organized in columns, as shown in Figure 2-10 .

Depending on the device, such a RAM might be able to hold anywhere  from a few thousand to tens of thousands of bits. Furthermore, a device might  contain anywhere from tens to hundreds of these RAM blocks, thereby providing a total storage capacity of a few hundred thousand bits all the way up to  several million bits.

Each block of RAM can be used independently, or multiple blocks can be  combined together to implement larger blocks. These blocks can be used for a  variety of purposes, such as implementing standard single- or dual-port RAMs,  first-in first-out (FIFO) functions, state machines, and so forth.
