//
// FIFO backed by an off chip ZBT/NoBL SRAM.
//
// This module and its sub-hierarchy implment a FIFO capable of sustaining 
// a data throughput rate of at least int_clk/2 * 36bits and bursts of int_clk * 36bits.
//
// This has been designed and tested for an int_clk of 100MHz and an ext_clk of 125MHz,
// your milage may vary with other clock ratio's especially those where int_clk < ext_clk.
// Testing has also exclusively used a rst signal synchronized to int_clk.
//
// Interface operation mimics a Xilinx FIFO configured as "First Word Fall Through",
// though signal naming differs.
//
// For FPGA use registers interfacing directly with signals prefixed "RAM_*" should be 
// packed into the IO ring.
