FIFO
The Xilinx FIFO block implements a
Values presented at the module’s
The FIFO can be implemented either using distributed or block RAM. If distributed memory is selected, the maximum depth of the FIFO is 256. If block RAM is used, the maximum depth is 64K words.

Parameters specific to the FIFO block are:
∙Depth: specifies the number of words that can be stored.
∙Bits of Precision to Use for Percent Full Signal: specifies the number of bits that will be output from the %full port. The binary point for this unsigned output is always at the top of the word. Thus, if the Bits of Precision is set to one, the output can take on two values: 0.0 and 0.5, the latter indicating that the FIFO is at least 50% full. Given two bits of precision, the possible output values are 0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75.
