SPI SRAM Controller XB

Description

The SPI SRAM control Xcelerator Block provides hardware control of an attached external SPI SRAM. The XB integrates an SRAM memory controller for use with a SPI-based serial SRAM chip and the Alorium SPI XB.

The associated support library for this XB offers an intuitive user interface for configuring, reading, and writing the SPI SRAM parts.

More details regarding the XB and functions that are available via the assiciated support library can be found on our GitHub page.  Click here or on the button below to check it out.
