Honored Contributorwrite to segment (multiple locations) of memory
Please see post# 6 for a better formulation of the problem.
------ Hi! I have a question about the memory blocks that are available on the Altera FPGA chips. Is it possible to write the same data to multiple locations of a memory block? Example: I want to write the value 7 to locations 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the memory block. I want to do it in one clock cycle. It is possible to do in ASIC with a custom memory controller. Is it possible in FPGA? Alex12 Replies

[1] Do these memory blocks provide write_enable signals for each word? This would allow me to write a controller that does this easily. [2] Also, could the Megafunction feature help with this? Alex- Altera_Forum
Some memories with multiple ports(dual,quad) allow for that but not single port memory. You can also put your data on 4 lanes on a wide memory to rd/wr in one clock cycle.
