3.4. Consider Power-Up State and Memory Initialization
Consider the power-up state of the different types of memory blocks if your design logic evaluates the initial power-up values.
Memory Type | Output Registers | Power-Up Value |
---|---|---|
MLAB | Used | Zero (cleared) |
Bypassed | Read memory contents* | |
M20K | Used | Zero (cleared) |
Bypassed | Zero (cleared) | |
*Refer to the .mif for the memory contents. If there is no .mif, the power-up value is Zero (cleared). |
By default, Quartus® Prime software initializes embedded memory blocks in Agilex™ 5 devices to zero. This occurs during the FPGA configuration process.
You can specify the memory contents using a memory initialization file (.mif) for MLAB and M20K blocks. However, even if you use a .mif file, the embedded memory powers up with its output cleared. This means that the memory contents are initially zero regardless of the .mif file.
