-- A generic VHDL entity for a typical SRAM with complete timing parameters

--
--
-- Features:
--
-- o generic memory size, width and timing parameters
--
-- o 18 typical SRAM timing parameters supported
--
-- o clear-on-power-up and/or download-on-power-up if requested by generic
--
-- o RAM dump into or download from an ASCII-file at any time possible
-- (requested by signal)
--
-- o pair of active-low and active-high Chip-Enable signals
--
-- o nWE-only memory access control
--
-- o many (but not all) timing and access control violations reported by assertions
--
--
--
-- RAM data file format:
--
-- The format of the ASCII-files for RAM download or dump is very simple:
-- Each line of the file consists of the memory address (given as a decimal number).
-- and the corresponding RAM data at this address (given as a binary number).
-- Any text in a line following the width-th digit of the binary number is ignored.
-- Please notice that address and data have to be seperated by a SINGLE blank,
-- that the binary number must have as many digits as specified by the generic width,
-- and that no additional blanks or blank lines are tolerated. Example:
--
-- 0 0111011010111101 This text is interpreted as a comment
-- 1 1011101010110010
-- 17 0010001001000100
--
--
-- Hints & traps:
--
-- If you have problems using this model, please feel free to to send me an e-mail.
-- Here are some potential problems which have been reported to me:
--
-- o There's a potential problem with passing the filenames for RAM download or
-- dump via port signals of type string. E.g. for Synopsys VSS, the string
-- assigned to a filename-port should have the same length as its default value.
-- If you are sure that you need a download or dump only once during a single
-- simulation run, you may remove the filename-ports from the interface list
-- and replace the constant string in the corresponding file declarations.
--
-- o Some simulators do not implement all of the standard TEXTIO-functions as
-- specified by the IEEE Std 1076-87 and IEEE Std 1076-93. Check it out.
-- If any of the (multiple overloaded) writeline, write, readline or
-- read functions that are used in this model is missing, you have to
-- write your own version and you should complain at your simulator tool
-- vendor for this deviation from the standard.
--
-- o If you are about to simulate a large RAM e.g. 4M * 32 Bit, representing
-- the RAM with a static array variable of 4 * 32 std_logic values uses a large
-- amount of memory and may result in an out-of-memory error. A potential remedy
-- for this is to use a dynamic data type, allocating memory for small blocks of
-- RAM data (e.g. a single word) only if they are actually referenced during a
-- simulation run. A version of the SRAM model with dynamic memory allocation
-- shall be available at the same WWW-site were you obtained this file or at:
-- http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/vhdl/models/sram/sram.html
