cdc_sync
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Kind | module |
| RTL source | rtl/cdc/cdc_sync.sv |
| Availability | Synthesizable RTL |
Summary
Multi-flop synchronizer for a control bit or independently encoded vector.
Functional Behavior
Multi-flop synchronizer for a control bit or independently encoded vector. 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 |
|---|---|
STAGE |
parameter int STAGE = 2 |
DATA_WIDTH |
parameter int DATA_WIDTH = 1 |
Interface Definition
module cdc_sync #(
parameter int STAGE = 2,
parameter int DATA_WIDTH = 1
) (
input logic clk_i,
input logic rst_n_i,
input logic [DATA_WIDTH-1:0] dat_i,
output logic [DATA_WIDTH-1:0] dat_o
);

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.

.STAGE(STAGE),
.DATA_WIDTH(DATA_WIDTH)

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.
