  -- This gearbox connect the DDC filter output to the remaining RX data path.
  -- For efficient use of DSP slices we run the DDC at 3x clock rate.  Both
  -- Clk3x and Clk1x are sourced from the same PLL and is phase locked as shown
  -- in the above timing diagram. The output of DDC filter is asserted for two
  -- clock cycles and is de-asserted for one clock cycle. The remaining part of
  -- the design cannot run at 3x clock rate. So, we increase the number of
  -- samples per clock cycle and decrease the clock frequency to 1x. Depending
  -- upon the pipeline delay through the filter and RF section, the phase of
  -- data valid assertion could be on either p0, p1, or p2 edge. And depending
  -- upon the phase, data packing to Clk1x domain will vary. Since there are
  -- three possible phase, we will need three different data packing options.
  --
  -- Data packing is done by looking for two consecutive ones in the data valid
  -- shift register (c1DataValidInDly).This pattern can be used only because of
  -- the way output data is packed in the filter. If we see two consecutive
  -- ones, then we know that we have enough data to be packed for the output of
  -- this gearbox. This is because, we need two Clk3x cycles of 2 SPC data to
  -- pack a 4 SPC data output on Clk1x. The location of two consecutive ones in
  -- the data valid shift register will provide the location of valid data in
  -- data shift register (c1DataInDly).
