Memory Features

Altera Corporation

Arria II Device Handbook Volume 1: Device Interfaces and Integration

lists the capacity and distribution of the memory blocks in each Arria II

device.

Memory Block Types

M9K and M144K memory blocks are dedicated resources. MLABs are dual-purpose
blocks. You can configure the MLABs as regular logic array blocks (LABs) or as
MLABs. Ten ALMs make up one MLAB. You can configure each ALM in an MLAB as
either a 64 × 1 or a 32 × 2 block, resulting in a 64 × 10 or 32 × 20 simple dual-port
SRAM block in a single MLAB.

Parity Bit Support

All memory blocks have built-in parity bit support. The ninth bit associated with each
byte can store a parity bit or serve as an additional data bit. No parity function is
actually performed on the ninth bit.
