Verilog HDL: Dual Clock Synchronous RAM
This example describes a dual clock synchronous 128-bit x 8-bit RAM design with different read and write addresses in Verilog HDL. Synthesis tools detect RAM designs in HDL code and infer altsyncram or altdpram megafunctions depending on the target device architecture.
