WHAT'S NEW in 7.1i IP UPDATE 1DVB S2 FED Encoder v1.1
New Features in v1.1
- Modified CTS behavior for improved data flow in core
- Added timing diagrams to data sheet
Fast Fourier Transform (xFFT) v3.2
Features in v3.2:
- Support added for Spartan-3E
- "Optimize for Speed using Xtreme DSP Slices" option added to all three architectures. This option in Virtex-4 enables operation of the core at higher clock speeds by using more DSP48s. This provides another way to make trade-offs between resource utilization and performance.
- "Bit/Digit Reversed Order" or "Natural Order" output available for all three architectures
- "Input Data Width" and "Phase Factor Width" expanded to include all values from 8 to 24
- "Run Time Configurable Transform Length" available for all three architectures
- "Distributed RAM Memory Option" available for Data for Radix-4 Burst I/O as well as Radix-2 Minimum Resources
Bug Fixes in v3.2:
- CR 199541: Incorrect FFT output results for Radix-4 Burst I/O when using Virtex-4
- CR 201500: Core will not generate for these two cases:
-- When either the Radix-4 Burst I/O or Radix-2 Minimum Resources architectures are selected and output width = 35 bits with phase factor width = 20 or 24 bits
-- When the Pipelined Streaming I/O architecture is selected and output width > 35 bits with phase factor width = 20 or 24 bits
- CR 201885: If either Radix-4 Burst I/O or Radix-2 Minimum Resources are selected, the core will not begin processing after the initial triggering of START unless SCLR is asserted first
- CR 207964: Maximum clock speed numbers in data sheet v3.1 have been corrected in v3.2
- CR 209462: VHDL and Verilog Structural Behavioral models give incorrect results
