## Generics
|
|
|
|
| Generic name | Type | Value | Description |
|
|
| ---------------- | --------- | ----- | ------------------------- |
|
|
| G_PipelineStages | integer | 3 | Number of pipeline stages |
|
|
| G_ResetActiveAt | std_logic | '1' | Reset active at: |
|

|
## Ports
|
|
|
|
| Port name | Direction | Type | Description |
|
|
| -------------------- | --------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| I_CLK | in | std_logic | Clock signal; **Rising edge** triggered |
|
|
| I_RST | in | std_logic | Reset signal; Active at `G_ResetActiveAt` |
|
|
| I_CE | in | std_logic | Chip enable; Active high |
|
|
| O_Enable | out | std_logic | Pipeline enable; Active high when pipeline can accept data and `I_CE` is high. <br> **Note:** Connect to `I_Enable` of the registers to be controlled by this controller. |
|
|
| Input-AXI-Handshake | in | Virtual bus | Input AXI like Handshake |
|
|
| Output-AXI-Handshake | out | Virtual bus | Output AXI like Handshake |

### Virtual Buses
|
|
|
|
#### Input-AXI-Handshake
|
|
|
|
| Port name | Direction | Type | Description |
|
|
| --------- | --------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| I_Valid | in | std_logic | Valid data flag; indicates that the data on `I_Data` of the connected registers is valid. |
|
|
| O_Ready | out | std_logic | Ready flag; indicates that the connected registers is ready to accept data. |
|
|
#### Output-AXI-Handshake
|
|
|
|
| Port name | Direction | Type | Description |
|
|
| --------- | --------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| O_Valid | out | std_logic | Valid data flag; indicates that the data on `O_Data` of the connected registers is valid. |
|
|
| I_Ready | in | std_logic | Ready flag; indicates that the external component is ready to accept data. |

|
## Signals
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------- | ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| R_Valid | std_logic_vector(G_PipelineStages - 1 downto 0) | Pipeline ready signal for each stage of the pipeline to indicate that the data in pipeline is valid |
|
|
| C_Ready | std_logic | Ready signal for the pipeline controller to indicate that the pipeline can accept data; <br> mapped to `O_Enable` and `O_Ready` ports. |
|
|
|
|
## Processes
|
|
- P_Flags: ( R_Valid, I_Ready )
|
|
- **Description**
|
|
Produce the `C_Ready` signal for the pipeline controller, controlling the data flow in the pipeline.
|
|
- P_ValidPipeline: ( I_CLK )
|
|
- **Description**
|
|
Shift the pipeline stages with `R_Valid` signal as placeholder to control the pipeline stages.
