Random Access Memory, commonly known as RAM, is a crucial component in modern digital systems. It allows for the temporary storage and retrieval of data in electronic devices. Designing RAM in VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a crucial skill for any digital design engineer, and in this article, we will discuss how to design RAM in VHDL using ModelSim, a popular simulation tool. If you are beginner in VLSI and VHDL, you should go with this article: Getting Started with VLSI and VHDL using ModelSim – A Beginners Guide Before we dive into designing RAM, let us first understand what it is and how it works. RAM is a type of memory that allows for data to be stored and retrieved in any order, hence the term 'random access.' RAM is made up of a series of storage locations, each of which can store a single bit of data. These storage locations are organized into words, with each word containing a fixed number of bits. The size of the RAM is determined by the number of words...
