5.3. ROM: 1-PORT IP Core Parameters

This table lists the parameters for the ROM: 1-PORT IP Core.
Table 18.  ROM: 1-PORT IP Core Parameters
Parameter Legal Values Description
Parameter Settings: General Page
How wide should the ‘q’ output bus be? — Specifies the width of the ‘q’ output bus.
How many <X>-bit words of memory? — Specifies the number of <X>-bit words.
What should the memory block type be? Auto, M4K, M9K, M144K, M10K, M20K Specifies the memory block type. The types of memory block that are available for selection depends on your target device.
Set the maximum block depth to Auto, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 Specifies the maximum block depth in words.
What clocking method would you like to use?
  • Single clock
  • Dual clock: use separate ‘input’ and ‘output’ clocks

Specifies the clocking method to use.

  • Single clock—A single clock and a clock enable controls all registers of the memory block
  • Dual clock (Input and Output clock)—The input clock controls the address registers and the output clock controls the data-out registers. There are no write-enable, byte-enable, or data-in registers in ROM mode.
Parameter Settings: Regs/Clken/Aclrs
Which ports should be registered? ‘q’ output port On/Off Specifies whether to register the ‘q’ output port.
Create one clock enable signal for each clock signal. Note: All registered ports are controlled by the enable signal(s) On/Off Specifies whether to turn on the option to create one clock enable signal for each clock signal.
More Options Use clock enable for port A input registers On/Off Specifies whether to use clock enable for port A input registers.
Use clock enable for port A output registers On/Off Specifies whether to use clock enable for port A output registers.
Create an ‘addressstall_a’ input port. On/Off Specifies whether to create a addressstall_a input port. You can create this port to act as an extra active low clock enable input for the address registers.
Create an ‘aclr’ asynchronous clear for the registered ports. On/Off Specifies whether to create an asynchronous clear port for the registered ports.
More Options ‘address’ port On/Off Specifies whether the ‘address’ port should be affected by the ‘aclr’ port.
‘q’ port On/Off Specifies whether the ‘q’ port should be affected by the ‘aclr’ port.
Create a ‘rden’ read enable signal On/Off Specifies whether to create a read enable signal.
Parameter Settings: Mem Init
Do you want to specify the initial content of the memory? Yes, use this file for the memory content data

Specifies the initial content of the memory.

In ROM mode you must specify a memory initialization file (.mif) or a hexadecimal (Intel-format) file (.hex). The Yes, use this file for the memory content data option is turned on by default.
Allow In-System Memory Content Editor to capture and update content independently of the system clock On/Off Specifies whether to allow In-System Memory Content Editor to capture and update content independently of the system clock
The ‘Instance ID’ of this ROM is — Specifies the ROM ID.
