Notes to Figure 2–16:
(1) Violating the setup or hold time on the memory block address registers could corrupt the memory contents. This
applies to both read and write operations.
(2) The read enable rdensignal is not available in the M-RAM block. An M-RAM block in simple dual-port mode is
always reading the data stored at the current read address location.
(3) Refer to the Stratix II Device Family Data Sheet (volume 1) of the Stratix II Device Handbook or the Stratix II GX Device
Family Data Sheet (volume 1) of the Stratix II GX Device Handbook for more information on the MultiTrack
interconnect.
