VHDL: ZBT SRAM Controller
Zero bus turnaround (ZBT) SRAM with No Bus Latency (NoBL) memory is a synchronous burst SRAM with a simplified interface that fully uses the available bandwidth. ZBT SRAM devices use the full bandwidth because they do not require any turnaround or idle cycles between read and write operations. In contrast, standard synchronous burst SRAM devices require turnaround cycles, which significantly reduce the available bandwidth.
You can implement the Altera® ZBT SRAM controller reference design in a Stratix™ (see figure 1 for the block diagram) or APEX™ II device (see figure 2 for the block diagram) to provide a simplified interface to ZBT SRAM. The reference design includes VHDL source files, synthesis and place and route project files, and functional and timing simulation environments.
The following ZBT SRAM controller reference designs are available for download:
