PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DESIGN: QUICK START HANDBOOK • CHAPTER 2<br />

Block RAM<br />

Spartan-IIE FPGAs incorporate several large block SelectRAM+ memories.<br />

These complement the distributed SelectRAM+ resources that provide<br />

shallow RAM structures implemented in CLBs.<br />

Block SelectRAM+ memory blocks are organized in columns. All Spartan-II<br />

devices contain two such columns, one along each vertical edge. These columns<br />

extend the full height of the chip.<br />

Each memory block is four CLBs high, and consequently, a Spartan-IIE<br />

device eight CLBs high will contain two memory blocks per column, and a total<br />

of four blocks.<br />
