Parameters specific to the block are:

Depth: specifies the number of words in the memory for Port A, which must be a positive integer. The Port B depth is inferrred from the form factor specified by the input data widths.

Initial Value Vector: specifies the initial memory contents. The size and precision of the elements of the initial value vector are based on the data format specified for Port A. When the vector is longer than the RAM, the vector’s trailing elements are discarded. When the RAM is longer than the vector, the RAM’s trailing words are set to zero.

Zero Initial Output: when checked, the data out ports have value of zero at clock 0; otherwise, the ports have a value of NaN (not a number).

Write Mode (A/B Ports): specifies the memory behavior to be Read Before Write, Read After Write, or No Read On Write. There are device specific restrictions on the applicability of these modes.

Other parameters used by this block are explained in the Common Parameters section of the previous chapter of the Reference Guide.
