Xilinx System Generator v2.1 Reference Guide

The following diagram illustrates the operation of this block.

Figure 3-23: Sync block use

This diagram shows a two-channel Xilinx Sync Block connected to two signal sources, with one producing a sawtooth wave and the other a sine wave. The sawtooth generator is able to produce its output much more quickly than the sine generator. This scenario could reflect, for example, a CORDIC-based sine generator with many pipeline stages for hardware efficiency and a simple counter-based sawtooth generator.

The rest of the diagram shows the connections of both the inputs and outputs of the Sync block to a four-channel scope. The waveforms presented by that scope are shown in the figure below. Note that the input waveforms are not aligned, with the first valid sine wave samples significantly lagging the sawtooth wave. In the third and fourth scope windows, the output signals can be seen to have been aligned.
