Asynchronous FIFO is most widely used in the System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for data buffering and flow control. As the designs gets complex, the probability of occurrence of bugs increases.

Pointer comparison in asynchronous designsis more challenging, because each pointer exists in a different clockdomain, and synchronizing a signal bus requires that the bus does notchange while ...

And if we further add a requirement that the FIFO must have a configurable aspect ration (depth versus width) for the input port versus the output port, the design task now becomes very daunting.

Consider an asynchronous FIFO for example: The general approach of designing an asynchronous FIFO is shown in Figure 1. Since data ‘read’ and ‘write’ operations on this FIFO work on separate ...
