The output of the filtering logic, the qreqn_int signal, does not assert. The figures depict a version
of the qreqn and qreqn_chk signals after they pass synchronizer cells. The counter depicts the
operation of the SAF detector. In this example, the SAF detector is set to a value of 63 whenever
the qreqn and qreqn_chk signals are the same polarity. If it detects a polarity difference between
the qreqn and qreqn_chk signals, it starts counting down. If the counter reaches zero, it flags an
error.
