14 years agoThe max width is 36 bits. The device handbook has all the details of what you can and can't do. Note that the muxing and routing into/out of the memory blocks is pretty expensive in silicon. It's easy to just think about number of bits, but number of ports and there size is a significant portion of how many you can put into a device. Altera has done stuff like 3 different memory sizes, including huge memories(512K on older devices), to try and accomodate different user requirements.
