The Data Pipeline core allows the highest data throughput that is both high-speed and high performance (bubble/void free). This transfer is achieved through robust pipeline design inside the core.

Features

• Allow the selection of:
  • Normal pipeline with ready back pressure.
    • Maximum area saving.
  • High-bandwidth and high-performance pipeline with registered ready back pressure.
    • The ready signal is registered to ease the timing closure during high-speed data transfer.
      • Downstream_ready_i to upstream_ready_o path is cut off by a register.
    • No bandwidth performance degradation.
• Multiplexer implementation location is configurable based on user's preference and critical path location.
