Pls tell me the question:
In synchronous dual-port sram, must both clka and clkb be same?
What is synchronous dual-port sram.
 

Hi,
In synchronous dual port SRAM, clocka(portA) and clockb(portB) can be different ( in frequency or phase).
but the problem is when portA and portB access to 1 location( and violate the timing of RAM), the data in that location may be corrupted
---> you need a control method between clocka and clockb
+ clocka and clockb is different in frequency but have a fixed-phase-relationship(divided clocks) ---> satisfy timing between portA/portB access at same location
+ clocka and clockb is different in frequency and phase ----> need a control method to avoid same address access.

Here, "synchronous" or "asynchronous" is for access mode, not clock relationship.
 

thanks! AlexWan. Now know the difference between synchronous" or "asynchronous. synchronous means that clka and dataa is synchronous, right?
