Entity sync_Pulse

Block Diagram of sync_Pulse

This module synchronizes multiple pulsed bits into the clock-domain Clock. The clock-domain boundary crossing is done by two synchronizer D-FFs. All bits are independent from each other. If a known vendor like Altera or Xilinx are recognized, a vendor specific implementation is chosen.

Attention

Use this synchronizer for very short signals (pulse).

Constraints:

General:

Please add constraints for meta stability to all '_meta' signals and timing ignore constraints to all '_async' signals.

Xilinx:

In case of a Xilinx device, this module will instantiate the optimized module PoC.xil.sync.Pulse. Please attend to the notes of sync_Bits.vhdl.
