Reason for using random access memory (RAM) • Computers and other digital systems perform operations that retrieve, manipulate, transform and store data • Read only memories (ROMs) can not dynamically store data • Registers support fast and random storage, but cannot be used for mass storage because they are implemented with FFs and occupy too much physical area • RAM is faster and occupies less area than a register file • Most RAMs are volatile- the information vanishes after power is removed from the device • There are two types of RAMs: static and dynamic • Dynamic RAMs need refresh and static RAMs don’t Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

Unit 5-3 Altera FPGA Architecture Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU
Architecture of Stratix • Logic array blocks (LABs) : 10 logic elements (LEs) in each LAB • Memory block structures • 512 RAM: simple dual-port memory blocks (512 +parity =576) • M4K RAM: true dual-port memory blocks (4K + parity =4608) • M-RAM: true dual-port memory blocks (512K+parity=589,824) • DSP blocks • 9×9- or 18×18- or 36×36-bit multiplier with add and subtraction • 18-bit input shift registers • I/O element (IOE) : contains a bidirectional I/O buffer and six registers • Supports single-ended, differential I/O standards and external memory devices such as DDR-SDRAM Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU
Logic elements (LE) : the smallest unit of logics in the Stratix architecture each of which contains : • A four-input LUT • A programmable register : • can be configured for D, T, JK and SR FFs • Asynchronous data, • Support single bit addition and subtraction Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU
