FIFO megafunction usedw signal not working

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use Altera dual clock FIFO on Cyclone IV E . Both wrusedw and rdusedw not updating (staying at zeros)

I want to use MSB bit of usedw to get a half full flag for read logic.

wrclk is 3.2MHz

rdclk is 100MHz

depth is 2k words

data width is 16 bit

I checked lpm_widthu, which is correctly set to 11. Both underflow and overflow checking are enabled.

Where am I doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Hi Thadoe,


    Is this signal identified during signaltap or simulation? Assuming you are tapping it, you might need to verify simulation for the signal before hardware implementation, make sure the behavior is correct.
