dual clock fifo +xilinx

Can I use MUXF7 as a switch to select one of two clocks for realizing shift register based dual-clock FIFO?

Thanks.
 

I assume you are referring to a Xilinx FPGA. I'm not clear exactly what you are building, but if you really need to switch between two clocks without glitches, try the BUFGMUX (if your FPGA provides it) instead of an ordinary mux such as MUXF7.

If possible, try to design synchronous logic that doesn't require gating or switching clocks.

Thanks.

Just for building a dual clock FIFO.

But BRAM based dual clock FIFO is big, I only need 16 byte deep.

Hi,

Instead of BRAM, use Distributed RAM based FIFO. It is synthesized as LUT only and does not consume any of BRAM on FPGA chip.

If you are using Xilinx FPGA, please refer XILINX Core Generator IP CORE guide.

Enjoy!!!
