Hi,
I have a design which has a 100Kbit SRAM. I have been able to synthesize my circuit with design compiler and I know the gate count (total area divided by smallest NAND2 area) of all circuit except the RAM.
I don't have any memory compiler to find its actual size.
I just need a rough estimate of the extra gate count that I will have because of the RAM.
Does any one have any idea how many equivalent gate that will be?
It might be different with different memory compilers so a range will also be helpful.
Thanks
Alex
 

I actually found following useful document.
**broken link removed**
I found that each cell area is equivalent to half a gate (smallest NAND2) area.
But you should consider also the overhead including the power lines, address/data mux, ....
