Entity: sync_Pulse_Altera

Description:

This is a multi-bit clock-domain-crossing circuit optimized for Altera FPGAs. It synchronizes multiple pulsed bits into the clock-domain Clock. The clock-domain boundary crossing is done by two synchronizer D-FFs. All bits are independent from each other. It generates 3 flip flops per input bit and notifies Quartus, that these flip flops are synchronizer flip flops. If you need a platform independent version of this synchronizer, please use PoC.misc.sync.Pulse, which internally instantiates this module if an Altera FPGA is detected.

.. ATTENTION:: Use this synchronizer for very short signals (pulse).
