Achieve full timing closure on xc7a100tcsg324-1 at 400 MHz (0 violations)
...
Complete FPGA timing closure across all clock domains after 9 iterative
Vivado builds. WNS improved from -48.325ns to +0.018ns (107,886 endpoints).
RTL fixes for 400 MHz timing:
- NCO: 6-stage pipeline with DSP48E1 phase accumulator, registered LUT
index (Fix D splits address decode from ROM read), distributed RAM
- CIC: explicit DSP48E1 PCOUT->PCIN cascade for 5 integrator stages,
CREG=1 on integrator_0 to eliminate fabric->DSP setup violation
- DDC: 400 MHz reset synchronizer (async-assert/sync-deassert),
active-high reset register for DSP48E1 RST ports, posedge output stage
- FIR: 5-stage binary adder tree pipeline (7-cycle latency)
- FFT: 5-cycle butterfly pipeline with registered twiddle index,
XPM_MEMORY_TDPRAM for data storage
- XDC: CDC false paths, async reset false paths, CIC comb multicycle paths
Final Build 9 timing (all MET):
adc_dco_p (400 MHz): WNS = +0.278ns
clk_100m (100 MHz): WNS = +0.018ns
clk_120m_dac (120 MHz): WNS = +0.992ns
ft601_clk_in (100 MHz): WNS = +5.229ns
Cross-domain (adc_dco_p->clk_100m): WNS = +7.105ns

Replace FFT stubs with synthesizable radix-2 DIT engine, fix BRAM inference
...
Implement iterative single-butterfly FFT engine (fft_engine.v) supporting
1024-pt and 32-pt transforms with quarter-wave twiddle ROM, XPM_MEMORY_TDPRAM
for guaranteed BRAM mapping in Vivado, and behavioral model for simulation.
Add xfft_32.v AXI-Stream wrapper for doppler_processor integration and
dual-branch matched_filter_processing_chain.v (behavioral + synthesis paths).
Fix placement failure caused by 68K+ registers from dissolved memory arrays:
- doppler_processor.v: extract mem writes to sync-only always block for BRAM
- xfft_32.v: extract buffer writes to sync-only always block for LUTRAM
Post-implementation: 37K regs (29%), 23K LUTs (37%), 10 BRAM (7%), fully routed.
All testbenches pass: fft_engine 12/12, xfft_32 10/10, mf_chain 27/27.

Achieve timing closure: DSP48E1 pipelines, 4-stage NCO, 28-bit CIC, ASYNC_REG
...
Phase 0+ timing optimization (attempts #13-22 + implementation):
NCO (nco_400m_enhanced.v):
- 4-stage pipeline: DSP48E1 accumulate -> LUT read -> negate -> quadrant MUX
- DSP48E1 phase accumulator in P=P+C mode (eliminates 8-stage CARRY4 chain)
- Registered phase_inc_dithered to break cascaded 32-bit add path
DDC (ddc_400m.v):
- Direct DSP48E1 instantiation for I/Q mixers (AREG=1, BREG=1, MREG=1, PREG=1)
- CEP=1, RSTP=!reset_n for proper pipeline control
- 3-stage dsp_valid_pipe for PREG=1 latency
- Behavioral sim model under ifdef SIMULATION for Icarus compatibility
CIC (cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v):
- 28-bit accumulators (was 36) per CIC width formula: 18 + 5*log2(4) = 28
- Removed integrator/comb saturation (CIC uses wrapping arithmetic by design)
- Pipelined output saturation comparison
CDC/ASYNC_REG:
- ASYNC_REG attribute on all CDC synchronizer registers (cdc_modules.v,
radar_system_top.v, usb_data_interface.v)
- Sync reset in generate blocks (cdc_modules.v)
Results: Vivado post-implementation WNS=+1.196ns, 0 failing endpoints,
850 LUTs (1.34%), 466 FFs (0.37%), 2 DSP48E1 (0.83%) on xc7a100t.
All testbenches pass: 241/244 (3 known stub failures).

Fix CDC timing violations: add synchronizers for all inter-clock crossings
...
Resolve all 4 inter-clock timing violations found in Vivado synthesis
attempt #11 (WNS was -2.552 ns). Changes:
- Add reset synchronizer for clk_120m_dac domain (2-FF chain)
- Add Gray-code CDC for chirp_counter (6-bit, 120MHz->100MHz)
- Add single-bit CDC for new_chirp_frame (3-stage, 120MHz->100MHz)
- Add 2-stage input synchronizers for valid signals in USB module
(clk_100m->ft601_clk_in) with data capture on rising edge
- Fix ft601_clk_out multi-driven net (removed duplicate assignment)
- Update XDC: set_max_delay -datapath_only for CDC, false_path for reset
Result: Vivado attempt #12 passes with 0 errors, 0 timing violations,
and 'All user specified timing constraints are met.' (WNS +0.983 ns)

Add 3 missing FPGA modules with enhanced testbenches (168/168 pass)
...
Implement the 3 modules identified as missing during repo audit:
- matched_filter_processing_chain: behavioral FFT-based pulse compression
- range_bin_decimator: 1024→64 bin decimation with 3 modes + start_bin
- radar_mode_controller: 4-mode beam/chirp controller
Wire radar_mode_controller into radar_receiver_final.v to drive the
previously-undriven use_long_chirp and mc_new_* signals.
Implement start_bin functionality in range_bin_decimator (was dead code
in the original interface contract — now skips N input bins before
decimation for region-of-interest selection).
Add comprehensive testbenches with Tier 1 confidence improvements:
- Golden reference co-simulation (Python FFT → hex → bin comparison)
- Saturation boundary tests (0x7FFF / 0x8000 extremes)
- Reset mid-operation recovery tests
- Valid-gap / stall handling tests
- Mode switching and counter persistence tests
- Accumulator overflow stress tests
Test counts: matched_filter 40/40, range_bin_decimator 55/55,
radar_mode_controller 73/73 — all passing with iverilog -g2001.
