FIFO Partitioner Megafunction User Guide

Getting Started

Specify the clock frequencies of the read and write clock ports of each
FIFO. For single-clock FIFOs you need only specify the frequency once,
but the design still has separate clock inputs for the read and write ports.
You should connect them accordingly.

Specify whether the read_b_n signal should behave as a read request or
a read acknowledge input for each FIFO. This determines whether data is
made available on the rd_data_n port before or after read_b_n is
asserted. See the section of this document on FIFO functionality for details
of read_b_n operation.

Specify whether to include read-level and write-level signals for each
FIFO. These signals are optional and indicated to the user how many
words in the FIFO are used. Read-level and write-level signals specify the
current level in words in terms of the respective bus-width. Therefore,
mixed-width FIFOs show different values on the read-level and
write-level output signals.

Frequency Information

After all FIFO configuration information has been specified, the FIFO
Partitioner MegaWizard displays a summary of the frequency
information for all FIFOs. The minimum TDM clock frequency is
displayed and selected by default. You can enter a frequency higher than
the minimum (

Figure 5

).
