| RTL source | rtl/cdc/cdc_fifo.sv |
| Availability | Synthesizable RTL |
Summary
Source-side implementation of the asynchronous FIFO.
Functional Behavior
Source-side implementation of the asynchronous FIFO. It carries the declared control, event, or data contract through the stated synchronizer, handshake, or Gray-pointer mechanism. Endpoint reset discards in-flight data unless the page identifies an acknowledged warm-clear path.
Suitable Applications
Use for reset release, asynchronous control/data transfer, asynchronous queues, event notification, and CDC recovery.
Parameters
The declaration below is canonical; retain the RTL-enforced parameter range.
| Parameter | Declaration |
|---|---|
DATA_WIDTH |
parameter int DATA_WIDTH = 32 |
BUFFER_DEPTH |
parameter int BUFFER_DEPTH = 8 |
SYNC_STAGES |
parameter int SYNC_STAGES = 2 |
LOG_BUFFER_DEPTH |
parameter int LOG_BUFFER_DEPTH = (BUFFER_DEPTH > 1) ? $clog2(BUFFER_DEPTH) : 1 |

Integration and Use
Never use a simple synchronizer for arbitrary multi-bit data. Keep both endpoint clocks running after reset release and obey all ready/busy outputs.

Dependencies and Verification
The linked RTL source is the implementation authority and contains local assertions for unsupported
parameter combinations. See docs/design.md for repository-wide CDC, reset,
stream, and storage contracts, and docs/verification.md for the
verification matrix.
