Abstract

The present invention relates to simulating multi-port memory element circuits. An integrated circuit may include a circuit of memory elements. The memory element circuit may include a plurality of dual-port memory elements controlled to effectively form a multi-port memory element having a plurality of read and write ports. Individual groups of dual-port memory elements can be coupled to each write port. Write data may be received in parallel through one or more of the write ports and stored on the banks. Switching circuitry may be coupled between the bank of memory element circuitry and the read port. The switching circuit may be controlled using a read control signal generated by a logical XOR based control circuit. The control circuit may include a dual-port memory element that stores addressing signals associated with writing data. The read control signal may control the switching circuitry to selectively route the most recently written data to the corresponding read port during a data read operation.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 15 / 174,460, filed June 6, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Integrated circuits often contain memory elements. Memory elements can be used to store data. Memory elements are often arranged in arrays. In a typical array, data lines are used to write data into memory elements and data lines are used to read data from memory elements loaded with data. [0003] The memory elements can be configured in a dual port arrangement. Conventional dual-port memory elements store data received through the write port. Data is read from the dual port memory element through the read port. Such dual-port memory elements support only a single write or read operation at a given time. This limits the overall bandwidth and speed with which the integrated circuit can perform memory access operations. [0004] Certain operations of integrated circuits require relativ...
