DEBOUNCER_VHDL
==============


This is a very simple switch debouncer written in VHDL. 
It is a pipelined, fully static design, and handles a group of signals with common debouncing.

The switch grouping in a std_logic_vector() has 2 main advantages: 

-> saves silicon space, by having a common counter;
-> guarantees that a given switch set will not show asynchronous state changes relative to each other inside the debouncing time window;

The debouncer has a very simple interface, and is straightforward to use. No vendor-specific syntax or code is used in this design.


VHDL files for spi master/slave project:
---------------------------------------

grp_debouncer.vhd       switch debouncer model


The original development is done in Xilinx ISE 13.1, targeted to a Spartan-6 device.

ISIM SIMULATION
---------------

VHDL simulation was done in ISIM, after Place & Route, with default constraints, for the slowest Spartan-6 device.

SILICON VERIFICATION
--------------------

Design verification in silicon was done in a Digilent Atlys board, and the verification project can be found at the  \trunk\syn directory, with all the required files to replicate the verification tests, including pinlock constraints for the Atlys board.
