Instantiating LPM Functions in VHDL
You can enter library of parameterized modules (LPM) functions in your VHDL design. The MAX+PLUS® II software supports all LPM functions except the truth table, finite state machine, and pad functions. The FPGA Express software supports all LPM functions that are supported in the MAX+PLUS II software except the lpm_and, lpm_or, lpm_xor, and lpm_mux functions. Choose Megafunctions/LPM from the MAX+PLUS II Help menu for detailed information on all LPM functions.
To instantiate an LPM function in a VHDL design, follow these steps:
- Create an instance of an LPM function in VHDL with a Component Instantiation Statement. VHDL Component Declarations for LPM functions are available in MAX+PLUS II Help and also installed automatically in the following FPGA Express directory:
<drive>:¥synopsys¥fpga_express¥lib¥packages¥lpm¥lpm_components.vhd
Use named association to specify parameter values in the Generic Map Clauses of LPM function instantiations. Figure 1 shows the Component Declaration for the lpm_ram_dq function.
Figure 1. Component Declaration for lpm_ram_dq (from lpm_components.vhd)
COMPONENT lpm_ram_dq
GENERIC (
LPM_WIDTH: POSITIVE;
LPM_TYPE : STRING := L_RAM_DQ;
LPM_WIDTHAD: POSITIVE;
LPM_NUMWORDS: STRING := UNUSED;
LPM_FILE: STRING := UNUSED;
LPM_INDATA: STRING := REGISTERED;
LPM_ADDRESS_CONTROL : STRING := REGISTERED;
LPM_OUTDATA: STRING := REGISTERED
);
PORT (
data : IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(LPM_WIDTH-1 DOWNTO 0);
we : IN STD_LOGIC := '1';
inclock : IN STD_LOGIC := '1';
outclock : IN STD_LOGIC := '1';
address : IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(LPM_WIDTHAD-1 DOWNTO 0);
q : OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (LPM_WIDTH-1 DOWNTO 0)
);
END COMPONENT;
- Manually tie any pins that require an initial value of logic 1 to
vcc. The FPGA Express software does not support initial values of logic 1 in Component Declarations. However, it does support initial values of logic 0.
Figure 2 shows an example of instantiating an lpm_ram_dq function in VHDL.
