Abstract
A random-access memory block for a field programmable gate array includes a random-access memory array having address inputs, a data input, a data output and including a plurality of storage locations. At least two programmably invertible enable inputs are provided. Hardwired decoding logic is coupled to the at least two programmably invertible enable inputs to selectively enable the random-access memory array. A gate is coupled to the output of the random-access memory array and is configured to pass the output of the random-access memory array only if the random-access memory is enabled for a read operation, and otherwise generate a preselected logic state.
