What do you need to know about dual clock FIFO?

What do you need to know about dual clock FIFO?

Description This dual clock FIFO is designed as a way for two circuits operating in different clock frequencies to communicate with each other. There is a read side and write side where data is stored into the internal memory of the FIFO using the write side clock and then read from the internal memory using the read side clock.

How to cross clock domains with an asynchronous FIFO?

In the case of the asynchronous FIFO, this is also done specifically using a clock associated with the write channel, i_wclk. I’ve also used AW to reflect the address width of this memory. I’ll probably still refer to this as N throughout in this text.

Is the write pointer the same in a synchronous FIFO?

The write pointer logic within a synchronous FIFO would be the same except that only one clock would be used, likely with a synchronous reset as well. Cliff Cummings’ FIFO is just subtly different from my own earlier presentation of a synchronous FIFO: his FIFO holds a full 2^N elements.

How is Cliff Cummings FIFO different from synchronous FIFO?

Cliff Cummings’ FIFO is just subtly different from my own earlier presentation of a synchronous FIFO: his FIFO holds a full 2^N elements. The FIFO I presented earlier only holds (2^N)-1 elements. I like the difference, and will probably upgrade my own synchronous FIFO implementations to follow this lead as well.

What is the full Flags reset value for FIFO?

Full Flags Reset Value of 1. In this configuration, the FIFO requires a mi nimum asynchronous reset pulse of 1 write/read clock cycle (whichever is slower). After reset is detected on the rising clock edge of write clock, 3 write clock periods are required to complete proper reset synchronization.

Which is FIFO function does Intel FPGA IP core provide?

provides FIFO Intel FPGA IP core through the parameterizable single-clock FIFO (SCFIFO) and dual-clock FIFO (DCFIFO) functions. The FIFO functions are mostly applied in data buffering applications that comply with the first-in-first-out data flow in synchronous or asynchronous clock domains.

When is a valid FIFO signal pulled low?

FIFO. The valid signal is pulled Low only when there is no data available to be read from the FIFO. The information signals are mapped to the din and dout bus of Native interface FIFOs. The width of the AXI FIFO is determined by concatenating all of the information signals of the AXI interface. The information signals include all AXI
