#include "fir_interpolate_hb_graph.hpp"
Overview
fir_interpolate_hb is a Halfband Interpolation FIR filter
These are the templates to configure the halfband interpolator FIR class.
Parameters:
| TT_DATA | describes the type of individual data samples input to and output from the filter function. This is a typename and must be one of the following: int16, cint16, int32, cint32, float, cfloat. |
| TT_COEFF | describes the type of individual coefficients of the filter taps. It must be one of the same set of types listed for TT_DATA and must also satisfy the following rules:
|
| TP_FIR_LEN | is an unsigned integer which describes the number of taps in the filter. TP_FIR_LEN must be in the range 4 to 240 inclusive and must satisfy (TP_FIR_LEN +1)/4 = N where N is a positive integer. |
| TP_SHIFT | describes power of 2 shift down applied to the accumulation of FIR terms before output. TP_SHIFT must be in the range 0 to 61. |
| TP_RND | describes the selection of rounding to be applied during the shift down stage of processing. Although, TP_RND accepts unsignedinteger values descriptive macros are recommended where
|
| TP_INPUT_WINDOW_VSIZE | describes the number of samples processed by the graph in a single iteration run. When TP_API is set to 0, samples are buffered and stored in a ping-pong window buffer mapped onto Memory Group banks. As a results, maximum number of samples processed by the graph is limited by the size of Memory Group. When TP_API is set to 1 and TP_SSR is set to 1, incoming samples are buffered in a similar manner. When TP_API is set to 1 and TP_SSR > 1, samples are processed directly from the stream inputs and no buffering takes place. In such case, maximum number of samples processed by the graph is limited to 32-bit value (4.294B samples per iteration). Note: For SSR configurations (TP_SSR>1), the input data must be split over multiple ports, where each successive sample is sent to a different input port in a round-robin fashion. As a results, each SSR input path will process a fraction of the frame defined by the TP_INPUT_WINDOW_VSIZE. The number of values in the output window will be TP_INPUT_WINDOW_VSIZE multiplied by 2 by virtue the halfband interpolation factor. Note: Margin size should not be included in TP_INPUT_WINDOW_VSIZE. |
| TP_CASC_LEN | describes the number of AIE processors to split the operation over. This allows resource to be traded for higher performance. TP_CASC_LEN must be in the range 1 (default) to 40. |
| TP_DUAL_IP | allows 2 input ports to be connected to FIR, increasing available throughput. Depending on TP_API, additional input ports functionality differs. If TP_API is set to use windows, then TP_DUAL_IP is an implementation trade-off between performance and data bank resource. When TP_DUAL_IP is set to 0, the FIR performance may be limited by load contention. When TP_DUAL_IP is set to 1, two ram banks are used for input. If TP_API is set to use streams, then: When TP_DUAL_IP is set to 0, single stream will be connected as FIRs input. When TP_DUAL_IP is set to 1, two stream inputs will be connected. In such case data should be organized in 128-bit interleaved pattern, e.g.:
|
| TP_USE_COEFF_RELOAD | allows the user to select if runtime coefficient reloading should be used. When defining the parameter:
|
| TP_NUM_OUTPUTS | sets the number of ports over which the output is sent. This can be 1 or 2. It is set to 1 by default. Depending on TP_API, additional output ports functionality differs. For Windows API, additional output provides flexibility in connecting FIR output with multiple destinations. Additional output With Stream API, the additional output port increases the FIR’s throughput. Data is sent in a 128-bit interleaved pattern, e.g. :
|
| TP_UPSHIFT_CT | upshift unit center tap. When TP_UPSHIFT_CT is set to 0, center tap coefficient will be treated as any other coefficient. When TP_UPSHIFT_CT is set to 1, provided center tap’s value will be used to upshift data sample. Note: when complex coefficient’s are used, center tap’s real part will be used for the upshift. Note: Upshift UCT is only supported with 16-bit coefficient types, i.e. int16 and cint16. Note: When Upshift is enabled, center tap value must be in the range 0 to 47. |
| TP_API | specifies if the input/output interface should be window-based or stream-based. The values supported are 0 (window API) or 1 (stream API). |
| TP_SSR | specifies the number of parallel input/output paths where samples are interleaved between paths, giving an overall higher throughput. A TP_SSR of 1 means just one output leg and 1 input phase, and is the backwards compatible option. The number of AIEs used is given by |
| TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY | sets the number of interpolator polyphases over which the coefficients will be split to enable parallel computation of the outputs. The polyphases are executed parallelly, output data is produced by each polyphase directly. TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY does not affect the number of input data paths. There will be TP_SSR input phases irrespective of the value of TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY. Currently, only TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY=2 is supported for the halfband interpolators with SSR>1. SSR = 1 supports TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY=1 or 2. TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY = 2 results in decomposing the filter’s operation into two polyphases. Input data is broadcast to the two polyphases and each polyphase produces half of the total output data. Their output data can be interleaved to produce a single output stream. The first polyphase is implemented using a single rate asymmetric filter that is configured to produce and consume data parallelly in TP_SSR phases, each phase can operate at maximum throughput depending on the configuration. The first polyphase uses TP_SSR ^ 2* TP_CASC_LEN kernels. The second polyphase simplifies into a single kernel that does a single tap because halfband interpolators only have one non-zero coefficient in the second coefficient phase. The second polyphase uses SSR kernels operating at maximum throughput. The overall theoretical output data rate is TP_SSR * TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY * TP_NUM_OUTPUTS * 1 GSa/s. The overall theoretical input data rate is TP_SSR * (TP_DUAL_IP + 1) * 1GSa/s |

Fields
kernel m_firKernels [TP_CASC_LEN *TP_SSR *TP_SSR]
The array of kernels that will be created and mapped onto AIE tiles. Number of kernels ( TP_CASC_LEN * TP_SSR ) will be connected with each other by cascade interface.
port_array <input, TP_SSR> in
The input data array to the function. This input array is either a window API of samples of TT_DATA type or stream API (depending on TP_API). Note: Margin is added internally to the graph, when connecting input port with kernel port. Therefore, margin should not be added when connecting graph to a higher level design unit. Margin size (in Bytes) equals to TP_FIR_LEN rounded up to a nearest multiple of 32 bytes.
port_array <output, TP_SSR> out
The output data array from the function. This output is either a window API of samples of TT_DATA type or stream API (depending on TP_API). Number of output samples is determined by interpolation & decimation factors (if present).
port_conditional_array <input, (TP_DUAL_IP==1), TP_SSR> in2
The conditional input array data to the function. This input is (generated when TP_DUAL_IP == 1) either a window API of samples of TT_DATA type or stream API (depending on TP_API).
port_conditional_array <input, (TP_USE_COEFF_RELOAD==1), TP_SSR> coeff
The conditional array of input async ports used to pass run-time programmable (RTP) coeficients. This port_conditional_array is (generated when TP_USE_COEFF_RELOAD == 1) an array of input ports, which size is defined by TP_SSR. Each port in the array holds a duplicate of the coefficient array, required to connect to each SSR input path. Size of the coefficient array is dependent on the TP_SSR.
When TP_SSR = 1, the taps array must be supplied in a compressed form for this halfband application, i.e.
taps[] = {c0, c2, c4, …, cN, cCT} where
N = (TP_FIR_LEN+1)/4 and cCT is the center tap.
For example, a 7-tap halfband decimator might use coeffs (1, 0, 2, 5, 2, 0, 1).
This would be input as coeff[]= {1,2,5} since the context of halfband decimation allows the remaining coefficients to be inferred.
When TP_SSR > 1, the taps array must be paritially uncompressed and symmetry must be removed. For example, a 7-tap halfband decimator might use coeffs (1, 0, 2, 5, 2, 0, 1).
This would be input as coeff[]= {1,2,5,2,1}.
port_conditional_array <input, (TP_USE_COEFF_RELOAD==1), TP_SSR> coeffCT
The conditional array of input async ports used to pass run-time programmable (RTP) coeficients. This port is (generated when TP_USE_COEFF_RELOAD == 1 and only for TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY > 1) and connects Center Tap coefficient to dedicated Center tap kernels. Each port in the array holds a duplicate of the Center Tap coefficient (single coefficient extracted out of the coeff array), required to connect to each SSR input path. * CT coefficient’s position is defined by: (TP_FIR_LEN+1)/4 .
port_conditional_array <output, (TP_NUM_OUTPUTS==2), TP_SSR> out2
The output data array from the function. This output is (generated when TP_NUM_OUTPUTS == 2) either a window API of samples of TT_DATA type or stream API (depending on TP_API). Number of output samples is determined by interpolation & decimation factors (if present).
port_conditional_array <output, (TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY> 1), TP_SSR> out3
The output data from the function. This output is (generated when TP_SSR > 1) a stream API of TT_DATA type
port_conditional_array <output, (TP_PARA_INTERP_POLY> 1&&TP_NUM_OUTPUTS==2), TP_SSR> out4
The output data from the function. This output is (generated when TP_SSR > 1 and TP_NUM_OUTPUTS = 2) a stream API of TT_DATA type
