The M9K memory block outputs of the Cyclone III device family power up to zero
(cleared) regardless of whether the output registers are used or bypassed. All M9K
memory blocks support initialization using a .mif. You can create .mifs in the
Quartus II software and specify their use using the RAM MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager when instantiating memory in your design. Even if memory is
pre-initialized (for example, using a .mif), it still powers up with its outputs cleared.
Only the subsequent read after power up outputs the pre-initialized values.
For more information about .mifs, refer to the
Quartus II
The M9K memory block clock enables of the Cyclone III device family allow you to
control clocking of each M9K memory block to reduce AC power consumption. Use
the rden signal to ensure that read operations only occur when necessary. If your
design does not require read-during-write, reduce power consumption by deasserting
the rden signal during write operations, or any period when there are no memory
operations. The Quartus II software automatically powers down any unused M9K
memory blocks to save static power.
