GitHub Links

This module synchronizes multiple high-active bits from clock-domain Clock1 to clock-domain Clock2. The clock-domain boundary crossing is done by a T-FF, two synchronizer D-FFs and a reconstructive XOR. A busy flag is additionally calculated and can be used to block new inputs. All bits are independent from each other. Multiple consecutive strobes are suppressed by a rising edge detection.

Attention

Use this synchronizer only for one-cycle high-active signals (strobes).
