This example describes a 64-bit x 8-bit dual clock synchronous RAM design with different read and write addresses in Verilog HDL. Synthesis tools are able to detect dual clock synchronous RAM designs in the HDL code and automatically infer either the altsyncram or altdpram megafunctions, depending on the architecture of the target device.
