VHDL: Dual-Port ROM

author-image

By

This example describes a 256-bit x 8-bit dual-port ROM design with two address ports for read operations in VHDL. Synthesis tools are able to detect ROM designs in the HDL code and automatically infer the altsyncram or lpm_rom megafunctions depending on the target device architecture.
