8.1. Appendix A: Parameterizable Pipeline Modules

The following examples show parameterizable pipeline modules in Verilog HDL, SystemVerilog, and VHDL. Use these code blocks at top-level I/Os and clock domain boundaries to change the latency of your circuit.

Parameterizable Hyper-Pipelining Verilog HDL Module
