Entity: An upscaling gearbox module with a dependent clock (dc) interface.
Description:
This module provides a upscaling gearbox with a dependent clock (dc) interface. It perfoems a 'byte' to 'word' collection. The default order is LITTLE_ENDIAN (starting at byte(0)). Input "In_Data" is of clock domain "Clock1"; output "Out_Data" is of clock domain "Clock2". The "In_Align" is required to mark the starting byte in the word. An optional input register can be added by enabling (ADD_INPUT_REGISTERS = TRUE).
Assertions:
- Clock periods of Clock1 and Clock2 MUST be multiples of each other.
- Clock1 and Clock2 MUST be phase aligned (related) to each other.
