Mixed-Port Read-During-Write Mode
This mode applies to a RAM in simple or true dual-port mode, which has
one port reading and the other port writing to the same address location
with the same clock.
In this mode, you also have two output choices: “Old Data” or “Don't
Care”. In “Old Data” mode, a read-during-write operation to different
ports causes the RAM outputs to reflect the old data at that address
location. In “Don't Care” mode, the same operation results in a "Don't
Care" or unknown value on the RAM outputs.
