Table 6: Output Latency of the Status Flag for the DCFIFO
This table shows the output latency of the write signal (wrreq) and read signal (rdreq) for the DCFIFO.

SCFIFO and DCFIFO Metastability Protection and Related Options
The FIFO parameter editor provides the total latency, clock synchronization, metastability protection,
area, and f
MAX
options as a group setting for the DCFIFO.
Table 7: DCFIFO Group Setting for Latency and Related Options
This table shows the available group setting.
Group Setting Comment
Lowest latency but requires synchronized clocks This option uses one synchronization stage with no
metastability protection. It uses the smallest size
and provides good f
MAX
.
Select this option if the read and write clocks are
related clocks.

The output latency information is only applicable for Arria
®
GX, Stratix, and Cyclone series (except for
Stratix, Stratix GX, Hardcopy
®
Stratix, and Cyclone devices). It might not be applicable for legacy devices,
such as APEX and FLEX series of devices.

The number of n cycles for rdclk and wrclk is equivalent to the number of synchronization stages and are
related to the WRSYNC_DELAYPIPE and RDSYNC_DELAYPIPE parameters. For more information about how the
actual synchronization stage (n) is related to the parameters set for different target device, refer to
(15)
This is applied only to Show-ahead output modes. Show-ahead output mode is equivalent to setting the
LPM_SHOWAHEAD parameter to ON
