RAM
AT40K/AT40KLV Series FPGA
32 x 4 dual-ported RAM blocks are dispersed throughout the array, see Figure 7. A 4-bit
Input Data Bus connects to four horizontal local buses distributed over four sector rows
(plane 1). A 4-bit Output Data Bus connects to four horizontal local buses distributed
over four sectors in the same column. A 5-bit Output Address Bus connects to five verti-
cal express buses in the same column. Ain (input address) and Aout (output address)
alternate positions in horizontally aligned RAM blocks. For the left-most RAM blocks,
Aout is on the left and Ain is on the right. For the right-most RAM blocks, Ain is on the
left and Aout is tied off, thus it can only be configured as a single port. For single-ported
RAM, Ain is the READ/WRITE address port and Din is the (bi-directional) data port.
Right-most RAM blocks can be used only for single-ported memories. WEN and OEN
connect to the vertical express buses in the same column.
