Arria10 Embedded Memory

[Yamada1]

I have a question about Embedded Memory. I plan to use Arria10's M20K block RAM with 2-Port RAM.

In figures 1 and 4 of the user guide, the input signal to the RAM block transitions at the falling edge of the clock. I could not find a hold time specification for the input of the RAM block, so am I correct in understanding that the timing in the figure is recommended?

We are not familiar with English, so please forgive us for posting machine-translated sentences.

I'm sorry to bother you when you're busy, but it would be helpful if you could teach me.

Generally, timing analysis will take care of sufficient hold time. You'll notice that maximal A10 block RAM clock frequency is rather high, e.g. > 500 MHz. Respectively you can expect a low hold time requirement, probably < 1 ns.

Mr. FvM

Thank you for your answer.

It was very helpful.

Hi,

Check out this document link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683240/17-0/about-embedded-memory-ip-cores.html (Page 41) onwards, the Design Example may be can help you as well.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Thank you for your answer.

I checked the documentation.

Even in the simulation waveform, the input to the RAM block was transitioned at the falling edge of the clock, so I recognized this as a recommendation.
