LogiCORE Turbo Product Code Encoder (TPC) v1.0 - Why must the reset be applied for the code to be changed?
Description
Keywords: encoder, sync
Why must the reset be applied for the code to be changed?
Solution
This is a known issue in the v1.0 of the TPC.If you do not apply a reset, when attempting to change the turbo code, the sync output and the encoded data will be incorrect after the code change is applied.
If you hit a reset in the middle of processing a code block, you must flush the design with an entire block before the core can be used. If you do not flush the design, the first block out after a reset will be corrupt. However, if you process one code block completely and then perform a reset, you should be able to complete a code switch without having to flush one block.
