WRITE_FIRST or Transparent Mode (Default)
In WRITE_FIRST mode, the input data is simultaneously written into memory and stored
in the data output (transparent write), as shown in
. These waveforms
correspond to latch mode when the optional output pipeline register is not used.
READ_FIRST or Read-Before-Write Mode
In READ_FIRST mode, data previously stored at the write address appears on the output
latches, while the input data is being stored in memory (read before write). The waveforms
in
correspond to latch mode when the optional output pipeline register is not
used.
NO_CHANGE Mode
In NO_CHANGE mode, the output latches remain unchanged during a write operation.
As shown in
, data output remains the last read data and is unaffected by a write
operation on the same port. These waveforms correspond to latch mode when the optional
output pipeline register is not used.
