-- Module: dac_1_3_clk_converter
--
-- Description:
--
--   This module transfers data from s_axis_aclk to m_axis_aclk. m_axis_aclk
--   must be three times the frequency of s_axis_aclk, and the two clocks must
--   be related (this module requires timing closure across the clock domain
--   boundary).

  -- I was unable to think of a simple implementation that implements a correct
  -- AXIS handshake on both ports. All my ideas became equivalent to a two
  -- clock FIFO (although the clocks are synchronous, so the write-to-read
  -- latency would have been certain).
  --
  -- We don't expect the DAC to ever hold off incoming data, and dac_100m_bd
  -- already has the AXIS handshake disconnected: the FIR is configured to
  -- disallow back pressure - it has no m_axis_data_tready pin.
  --
  -- I'm going with the simple, but not strictly correct, implementation.
  -- s_axis_tready will be constantly true, even when it shouldn't be. The
  -- bottom line is this component is likely useless for any application but
  -- dac_100m_bd.
