Re: [oc] FREE simulation models and synthesis models for RAM and ROM

[Richard Herveille <richard@asics.ws>]

Hello,

I tested your online memory generator. It looks ok and the fact that you
provide this feature for free is certainly nice and beneficial.

I do have a few comments though. I hope you do not take this as an
offence, since it is only meant well.

1) The datasheet is complete, though it would look much more professional
if you could generate a PDF version. Like the VirtualSilicon and Artisan
memory generators do.
2) I tried to generate a Verilog HDL version, which is not available
(yet).
Maybe you could state this on the website, so that users don't have to
wait for the email to find their requested design file empty.
3) I think there's a small error in you timing deration file;
you use the term: 
d(T) = 1 + Kt1 * (T - 25.0) + Kt2 * (V - 25.0)^2
whereas I think it should be:
d(T) = 1 + Kt1 * (T - 25.0) + Kt2 * (T - 25.0)^2
4) You only state the typical timing parameter. It would be nice if you
could also state the worst-case parameter. I know everybody can calculate
them, but just having them around is much more convenient.


Thanks again for providing this free solution,
