1.2. Embedded Memory

The Intel® MAX® 10 embedded memory block is optimized for applications such as high throughput packet processing, embedded processor program, and embedded data storage.

The Intel® MAX® 10 embedded memory structure consists of 9,216-bit (including parity bits) blocks. You can use each M9K block in different widths and configuration to provide various memory functions such as RAM, ROM, shift registers, and FIFO.

Intel® MAX® 10 embedded memory supports the following general features:

  • 8,192 memory bits per block (9,216 bits per block including parity).
  • Independent read-enable (rden) and write-enable (wren) signals for each port.
  • Packed mode in which the M9K memory block is split into two 4.5 K single-port RAMs.
  • Variable port configurations.
  • Single-port and simple dual-port modes support for all port widths.
  • True dual-port (one read and one write, two reads, or two writes) operation.
  • Byte enables for data input masking during writes.
  • Two clock-enable control signals for each port (port A and port B).
  • Initialization file to preload memory content in RAM and ROM modes.
