shows a sample functional waveform of mixed-port read-during-write
behavior for don’t care mode in M9K and M144K blocks.
Mixed-port read-during-write is not supported when two different clocks are used in
a dual-port RAM. The output value is unknown during a dual-clock mixed-port
read-during-write operation.
