Interfacing to SRAM

[john]

Hello,



I am trying to interface a Dual Port RAM (SRAM) with a CPLD. The
memory part number is

IDT 70T633/1S. Now, I am generating the Read /Write cycles for the
memory but i am unable to

see the correct data!

My question is that I am not seeing the data because Am I not
holding the data long enough inside

the CPLD or some other VHDL reason...... Please Advice!

I reduced the code to just write one memory location and reading the
same memory location..


-- Reading Program

Process ( State_A )

Begin
Case State_A is

When A0=>

LBL <='1';
UBL <='1';
CE0 <='1';
CE1 <='0';
Read_write <='1';
Output_Enable <='1';
Data_bus <="ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ";
Address_bus <="0000000000000000111";

nextstate_A <= A1;


When A1=>
LBL <='0';
UBL <='0';
CE0 <='0';
CE1 <='1';
Read_write <='1';
Output_Enable <='0';
Address_bus <="0000000000000000111";

nextstate_A <= A0



When others =>

nextstate_A <= A0;

End Case;

End Process;

Hi John,
Its difficult to say just by looking at the code whether the
write/read will be successful to the memory block. If I may suggest,
have you tried simulating with its verilog or vhdl models.

Hi,

you make the assignment
nextstate_A <= A1;

Do you have a clocked process you did not show to us?

Hi,
Yes, I have a clocked process!


Thanks
