FIFO is a First-In-First-Out memory queue with control logic that manages
the read and write operations, generates status flags, and provides optional
handshake signals for interfacing with the user logic. It is often used to
control the flow of data between source and destination. FIFO can be
classified as synchronous or asynchronous depending on whether same clock
or different (asynchronous) clocks control the read and write operations. In
this project the objective is to design, verify and synthesize a synchronous
FIFO using binary coded read and write pointers to address the memory
array. FFIO full and empty flags are generated and passed on to source and
destination logics, respectively, to pre-empt any overflow or underflow of
data. In this way data integrity between source and destination is maintained.
The RTL description for the FIFO is written using Verilog HDL, and design
is simulated and synthesized using NC-SIM and RTL compiler provided by
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. respectively
