Latch asynchronous clears Output latches only
Write or read operation triggering Write and read: Rising clock edges
Same-port read-during-write Outputs set to Old Data or New Data
Mixed-port read-during-write Outputs set to Old Data or Don’t Care
Notes to Table 3–1:
(1) FIFO buffers and embedded shift registers that require external logic elements (LEs) for implementing control
logic.
(2) Width modes of ×32 and ×36 are not available.
