Built-in FIFO Support
Synchronous FIFO Implementations
Table 4-14 outlines varied implementations of synchronous FIFOs. Figure 4-16 shows the
timing differences.
Table 4-13: FIFO Capacity
Standard Mode FWFT Mode
18 Kb FIFO 36 Kb FIFO 18 Kb FIFO 36 Kb FIFO
4k + 1 entries by 4 bits 8k + 1 entries by 4 bits 4k + 2 entries by 4 bits 8k + 2 entries by 4 bits
2k + 1 entries by 9 bits 4k + 1 entries by 9 bits 2k + 2 entries by 9 bits 4k + 2 entries by 9 bits
1k + 1 entries by 18 bits 2k + 1 entries by 18 bits 1k + 2 entries by 18 bits 2k + 2 entries by 18 bits
512 + 1 entries by 36 bits 1k + 1 entries by 36 bits 512 + 2 entries by 36 bits 1k + 2 entries by 36 bits
512 + 1 entries by 72 bits 512 + 2 entries by 72 bits
Table 4-14: Comparison of Synchronous FIFO Implementations
Synchronous FIFO Implementations Advantages Disadvantages
EN_SYN = TRUE, DO_REG = 0 No flag uncertainty Longer clock-to-out signals
EN_SYN = TRUE, DO_REG = 1 Faster clock-to-out signals, no
flag uncertainty
Data Latency increased by one. Behaves
like a synchronous FIFO with an extra data
output pipeline register
EN_SYN = FALSE, DO_REG = 1
RDCLK = WRCLK
Faster clock-to-out signals.
Similar to a Virtex-4 FIFO.
Falling-edge flag uncertainty. Rising-edge
guaranteed on FULL and EMPTY
