Random number generation and indexing into RAM/ROM block

Altera Gurus, I am developing a random pulse generator based on certain external inputs. The pulse generator will be implemented on a Cyclone III device and coded in VHDL using Quartus. The amp...

Hi ,

"It's not a true ROM/RAM in the sense that the "address" being input to the ROM/RAM block is not the index, but is used to determine the index."

So according to your diagram , what is 'Pseudo-Random Number Generator' generating a random address for a random location on ROM/RAM ?

"For now I have for-loop which basically runs through the entire array, compares the random number to the values in the array, and outputs the index. However"

Entire array i.e the ROM/RAM ? is this logic a wrapper with ROM/RAM as a component inside it ?
