  • Stream FIFO block

Description

The Stream FIFO block controls the backpressure from the hardware logic to the upstream data interface. It also controls the flow between the upstream and downstream data interfaces of the hardware logic. Integrate this block as a configurable first-in, first-out (FIFO) block for AXI4 data stream applications. The block enables you to configure its depth and set its almost full threshold value.

Ports

Input

expand all

Input stream data from the data source. Specify this value as a scalar.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Control signal that indicates if the input stream data from the data source is valid. When this value is 1 (true), the block accepts the values on the dataIn port. When this value is 0 (false), the block ignores the values on the dataIn port.

Data Types: Boolean

Control signal that indicates if the block can send stream data to the downstream interface. When this value is 1 (true), the downstream interface is ready, and the block can send the stream data. When this value is 0 (false), the downstream interface is not ready, and the block cannot send the stream data.

Data Types: Boolean

Output

expand all

Output stream data to the downstream interface. The data type of this output data is the same as the data type of the input data.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Control signal that indicates if the output stream data is valid. When this value is 1 (true), the output stream data on the dataOut port is valid. When this value is 0 (false), the output stream data on the dataOut port is not valid.

Data Types: Boolean

Control signal that indicates if the block is ready to receive stream data from the upstream interface. When this value is 1 (true), the block is ready to accept stream data from the upstream interface. When this value is 0 (false), the block is not ready to accept stream data from the upstream interface.

Data Types: Boolean

Parameters

expand all

Specify the depth of the FIFO. This value must be a positive integer and is the maximum number of entries that can be buffered before data gets dropped.

Specify a value that asserts a back-pressure signal from the block to the data source.

To avoid dropping data, set a value allowing the data source enough time to react to backpressure. This value must be a positive integer and smaller than the FIFO depth.
