Hey Im new to vhdl and i would like to know what type of memory i could use for storing data from a synchronous counter of size 1200 binsize( not bits)
 

You can use any kind of memory you like. I don't understand the question.

And I know what bits and bytes and words are; I don't know what "binsize(not bits)" is.
 

Your question is not clear.
Well just to tell you....counter itself will be having storage elements 'Flip-Flops'...
Aprt form that if you need memory (register) to store counter state..then kindly mention....
Best of luck

Hmmm okk.. so other than the flip flops present in the counter I would like to use another memory element!

well "BINS" are just discrete intervals.. intervals in a bar graph or some such thing. So in my experiment each bin consists of 2-3 bits of data.. so i just need a memory other than the ones present in a counter im using for counting purposes.. so yes.. any suggestions?

OK...Give more details of counter application....what exactly a counter should do...
So that we can suggest proper solution to it.

Do you need to count BINs OR want repeatative addition of BINs. Well If your BINs size is 2-3 bytes and you have around 1200 BINs data then in this case you have to use Block RAM in FPGA...if you are storing each BIN value then you need 1200*3=3600 Bytes=3.6KB of block ram...
Things will be more clear if you could provide a block diagram of your appln.
