7.2 English

A wide range of filter types can be implemented in the Vivado ® Integrated Design Environment (IDE): single-rate, polyphase decimators and interpolators and half-band decimators and interpolators. Structure in the coefficient set is exploited to produce area-efficient FPGA implementations. Sufficient arithmetic precision is employed in the internal datapath to avoid the possibility of overflow.

The conventional single-rate FIR version of the core computes the convolution sum defined in This Equation , where N is the number of filter coefficients.

Equation 1-1

This Figure shows the conventional tapped delay line realization of this inner-product calculation, and although the illustration is a useful conceptualization of the computation performed by the core, the actual FPGA realization is quite different.

One or more time-shared multiply-accumulate (MAC) functional units are used to service the N sum-of-product calculations in the filter. The core automatically determines the minimum number of MAC engines required to meet user-specified throughput.
