Hi 

Iam using max10  fpga , having dought regarding to fifo memory block, what is the maximum input clock can be given to fifo ip. 

In my project iam using fifo dual clock mode.

write clock = 240 Mhz,

read clock = 60 Mhz,

I studied device data sheet not find any information for the dought.

Thanks in Advance.

HI Manoj,


The FIFO IP uses the M9K memory component as basic block along with some logic elements. The achievable frequency is determined by overall design in the FPGA.

The datasheet provide details of M9K block used in FIFO mode for a fixed configuration. This can be considered as the basis for your estimation.

However, the actual frequency achieved can only be found out from the final Timing Analyzer report.


Regards,

Ashlesha

Hi Ashlesha,

I found this details in datasheet here they mentioned that we can give input clock upto 300 MHz.
