<h1>Wishbone Monitor Controller Palette RAM</h1>
<h2>Description</h2>
<strong>Wishbone Monitor Controller Palette RAM</strong> is a small piece of
dual-ported memory. One of the interfaces is a Wishbone compatible interface
with the <a href="/cores/wb_tk/wb_extensions.shtml">WishboneTK extensions</a>.
This interface is write-only. Any read operations attempted on the port would
result in an error (ERR_O goes active). The other port is an asyncronous
read-only port. For that port an enable signal is (BLANK) provided. If that signal
is active all output bits are driven to 0. Otherwise the output will be the data
stored in the memory location identified by the address provided. This type of
memory is ideal for palette memory in a monitor controller.
