Abstract
Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide integrated circuits having memories with multiple sizes. The memories may be dedicated embedded memories, or they may be distributed memories formed using memories or lookup tables in logic elements or other appropriate circuits. Configuration bits not needed by logic elements used for distributed memories can be used for data storage as well. These various memories may be combined or otherwise linked or chained together in different combinations to form larger memories of varying sizes.
