    5. KNOWN ISSUES & LIMITATIONS

      5.1 ISE

        The following are known issues for v7.3 of this core at time of release:

        1. Power estimation figures in the datasheet are preliminary for Virtex-5 and Spartan-3.

        3. Core does not generate for large memories. Depending on the
           machine the ISE CORE Generator software runs on, the maximum size of the memory that
           can be generated will vary.  For example, a Dual Pentium-4 server
           with 2 GB RAM can generate a memory core of size 1.8 MBits or 230 KBytes
          - CR 415768
          - AR 24034

      5.2 Vivado

        The following are known issues for v7.3 of this core at time of release:
