--- Create Date:     12:18:12 04/25/2011 
--- Module Name:     SPI_MASTER - RTL
--- Project Name:    SPI MASTER / SLAVE INTERFACE
--- Target Devices:  Spartan-6
--- Tool versions:   ISE 13.1
--- Description: 
---
---      This block is the SPI master interface, implemented in one single entity.
---      All internal core operations are synchronous to the 'sclk_i', and a spi base clock is generated by dividing sclk_i downto
---      a frequency that is 2x the spi SCK line frequency. The divider value is passed as a generic parameter during instantiation.
---      All parallel i/o interface operations are synchronous to the 'pclk_i' high speed clock, that can be asynchronous to the serial
---      'sclk_i' clock.
---      For optimized use of longlines, connect 'sclk_i' and 'pclk_i' to the same global clock line.
---      Fully pipelined cross-clock circuitry guarantees that no setup artifacts occur on the buffers that are accessed by the two 
---      clock domains.
---      The block is very simple to use, and has parallel inputs and outputs that behave like a synchronous memory i/o.
---      It is parameterizable via generics for the data width ('N'), SPI mode (CPHA and CPOL), lookahead prefetch signaling 
---      ('PREFETCH'), and spi base clock division from sclk_i ('SPI_2X_CLK_DIV').
---
---      SPI CLOCK GENERATION
---      ====================
---
---      The clock generation for the SPI SCK is derived from the high-speed 'sclk_i' clock. The core divides this reference 
---      clock to form the SPI base clock, by the 'SPI_2X_CLK_DIV' generic parameter. The user must set the divider value for the 
---      SPI_2X clock, which is 2x the desired SCK frequency. 
---      All registers in the core are clocked by the high-speed clocks, and clock enables are used to run the FSM and other logic
---      at lower rates. This architecture preserves FPGA clock resources like global clock buffers, and avoids path delays caused
---      by combinatorial clock dividers outputs.
---      The core has async clock domain circuitry to handle asynchronous clocks for the SPI and parallel interfaces.
---
---      PARALLEL WRITE INTERFACE
---      ========================
---      The parallel interface has an input port 'di_i' and an output port 'do_o'.
---      Parallel load is controlled using 3 signals: 'di_i', 'di_req_o' and 'wren_i'. 'di_req_o' is a look ahead data request line,
---      that is set 'PREFETCH' clock cycles in advance to synchronize a pipelined memory or fifo to present the 
---      next input data at 'di_i' in time to have continuous clock at the spi bus, to allow back-to-back continuous load.
---      For a pipelined sync RAM, a PREFETCH of 2 cycles allows an address generator to present the new adress to the RAM in one
---      cycle, and the RAM to respond in one more cycle, in time for 'di_i' to be latched by the shifter.
---      If the user sequencer needs a different value for PREFETCH, the generic can be altered at instantiation time.
---      The 'wren_i' write enable strobe must be valid at least one setup time before the rising edge of the last SPI clock cycle,
---      if continuous transmission is intended. If 'wren_i' is not valid 2 SPI clock cycles after the last transmitted bit, the interface
---      enters idle state and deasserts SSEL.
---      When the interface is idle, 'wren_i' write strobe loads the data and starts transmission. 'di_req_o' will strobe when entering 
---      idle state, if a previously loaded data has already been transferred.
---
---      PARALLEL WRITE SEQUENCE
---      =======================
---                         __    __    __    __    __    __    __ 
---      pclk_i          __/  \__/  \__/  \__/  \__/  \__/  \__/  \...     -- parallel interface clock

---      di_req_o        ________/           \_____________________...     -- 'di_req_o' asserted on rising edge of 'pclk_i'

---      di_i            __old_data____X______new_data_____________...     -- user circuit loads data on 'di_i' at next 'pclk_i' rising edge
---                                                 _______

---                      
---
---      PARALLEL READ INTERFACE
---      =======================
---      An internal buffer is used to copy the internal shift register data to drive the 'do_o' port. When a complete word is received,
---      the core shift register is transferred to the buffer, at the rising edge of the spi clock, 'spi_clk'.
---      The signal 'do_valid_o' is set one 'spi_clk' clock after, to directly drive a synchronous memory or fifo write enable.
---      'do_valid_o' is synchronous to the parallel interface clock, and changes only on rising edges of 'pclk_i'.
---      When the interface is idle, data at the 'do_o' port holds the last word received.
---
---      PARALLEL READ SEQUENCE

---
---
---      The propagation delay of spi_sck_o and spi_mosi_o, referred to the internal clock, is balanced by similar path delays,
---      but the sampling delay of spi_miso_i imposes a setup time referred to the sck signal that limits the high frequency
---      of the interface, for full duplex operation.
---
---      This design was originally targeted to a Spartan-6 platform, synthesized with XST and normal constraints.
---      The VHDL dialect used is VHDL'93, accepted largely by all synthesis tools.

--- SYNTHESIS CONSIDERATIONS
--- ========================
--- There are several output ports that are used to simulate and verify the core operation. 
--- Do not map any signals to the unused ports, and the synthesis tool will remove the related interfacing
--- circuitry. 
--- The same is valid for the transmit and receive ports. If the receive ports are not mapped, the
--- synthesis tool will remove the receive logic from the generated circuitry.
--- Alternatively, you can remove these ports and related circuitry once the core is verified and
--- integrated to your circuit.

+-- Create Date:     12:18:12 04/25/2011 
+-- Module Name:     SPI_MASTER - RTL
+-- Project Name:    SPI MASTER / SLAVE INTERFACE
+-- Target Devices:  Spartan-6
+-- Tool versions:   ISE 13.1
+-- Description: 
+--
+--      This block is the SPI master interface, implemented in one single entity.
+--      All internal core operations are synchronous to the 'sclk_i', and a spi base clock is generated by dividing sclk_i downto
+--      a frequency that is 2x the spi SCK line frequency. The divider value is passed as a generic parameter during instantiation.
+--      All parallel i/o interface operations are synchronous to the 'pclk_i' high speed clock, that can be asynchronous to the serial
+--      'sclk_i' clock.
+--      For optimized use of longlines, connect 'sclk_i' and 'pclk_i' to the same global clock line.
+--      Fully pipelined cross-clock circuitry guarantees that no setup artifacts occur on the buffers that are accessed by the two 
+--      clock domains.
+--      The block is very simple to use, and has parallel inputs and outputs that behave like a synchronous memory i/o.
+--      It is parameterizable via generics for the data width ('N'), SPI mode (CPHA and CPOL), lookahead prefetch signaling 
+--      ('PREFETCH'), and spi base clock division from sclk_i ('SPI_2X_CLK_DIV').
+--
+--      SPI CLOCK GENERATION
+--      ====================
+--
+--      The clock generation for the SPI SCK is derived from the high-speed 'sclk_i' clock. The core divides this reference 
+--      clock to form the SPI base clock, by the 'SPI_2X_CLK_DIV' generic parameter. The user must set the divider value for the 
+--      SPI_2X clock, which is 2x the desired SCK frequency. 
+--      All registers in the core are clocked by the high-speed clocks, and clock enables are used to run the FSM and other logic
+--      at lower rates. This architecture preserves FPGA clock resources like global clock buffers, and avoids path delays caused
+--      by combinatorial clock dividers outputs.
+--      The core has async clock domain circuitry to handle asynchronous clocks for the SPI and parallel interfaces.
+--
+--      PARALLEL WRITE INTERFACE
+--      ========================
+--      The parallel interface has an input port 'di_i' and an output port 'do_o'.
+--      Parallel load is controlled using 3 signals: 'di_i', 'di_req_o' and 'wren_i'. 'di_req_o' is a look ahead data request line,
+--      that is set 'PREFETCH' clock cycles in advance to synchronize a pipelined memory or fifo to present the 
+--      next input data at 'di_i' in time to have continuous clock at the spi bus, to allow back-to-back continuous load.
+--      For a pipelined sync RAM, a PREFETCH of 2 cycles allows an address generator to present the new adress to the RAM in one
+--      cycle, and the RAM to respond in one more cycle, in time for 'di_i' to be latched by the shifter.
+--      If the user sequencer needs a different value for PREFETCH, the generic can be altered at instantiation time.
+--      The 'wren_i' write enable strobe must be valid at least one setup time before the rising edge of the last SPI clock cycle,
+--      if continuous transmission is intended. If 'wren_i' is not valid 2 SPI clock cycles after the last transmitted bit, the interface
+--      enters idle state and deasserts SSEL.
+--      When the interface is idle, 'wren_i' write strobe loads the data and starts transmission. 'di_req_o' will strobe when entering 
+--      idle state, if a previously loaded data has already been transferred.

+--      PARALLEL READ INTERFACE
+--      =======================
+--      An internal buffer is used to copy the internal shift register data to drive the 'do_o' port. When a complete word is received,
+--      the core shift register is transferred to the buffer, at the rising edge of the spi clock, 'spi_clk'.
+--      The signal 'do_valid_o' is set one 'spi_clk' clock after, to directly drive a synchronous memory or fifo write enable.
+--      'do_valid_o' is synchronous to the parallel interface clock, and changes only on rising edges of 'pclk_i'.
+--      When the interface is idle, data at the 'do_o' port holds the last word received.

+--      but the sampling delay of spi_miso_i imposes a setup time referred to the sck signal that limits the high frequency
+--      of the interface, for full duplex operation.
+--
+--      This design was originally targeted to a Spartan-6 platform, synthesized with XST and normal constraints.
+--      The VHDL dialect used is VHDL'93, accepted largely by all synthesis tools.

+-- SYNTHESIS CONSIDERATIONS
+-- ========================
+-- There are several output ports that are used to simulate and verify the core operation. 
+-- Do not map any signals to the unused ports, and the synthesis tool will remove the related interfacing
+-- circuitry. 
+-- The same is valid for the transmit and receive ports. If the receive ports are not mapped, the
+-- synthesis tool will remove the receive logic from the generated circuitry.
+-- Alternatively, you can remove these ports and related circuitry once the core is verified and
+-- integrated to your circuit.

+    -- the spi clock generator and the input sampling clock.
+    -- The clock generation block derives 2 continuous antiphase signals from the 2x spi base clock 
+    -- for the core clocking.
+    -- The 2 clock phases are generated by separate and synchronous FFs, and should have only

+    -- Clock enable signals are generated with the same phase as the 2 core clocks, and these clock 
+    -- enables are used to control clocking of all internal synchronous circuitry. 
+    -- The clock enable phase is selected for serial input sampling, fsm clocking, and spi SCK output, 
+    -- based on the configuration of CPOL and CPHA.
+    -- Each phase is selected so that all the registers can be clocked with a rising edge on all SPI
+    -- modes, by a single high-speed global clock, preserving clock resources and clock to data skew.
