Honored ContributorMultistage pipelined multiplexer
Hello,
My design has to switch between four - 128 bit wide buses. Using a simple coded mux (even with registered inputs and outputs) causes Fmax to drop to unacceptable levels. I'm thinking to use a multistage pipelined MUX. I.E: the input buses will themselves be broken into smaller pipelined segments. Does the IP catalog provide such a component ? Can the LPM_MUX be configured in such a way ?3 Replies

Download the code from Post#5 http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41601 View the PDF to understand the construction of the mux. Cheers, Dave- Altera_Forum
Thanks!
Do you know if Altera has a similar component ? - Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Do you know if Altera has a similar component ? --- Quote End --- Probably not. Personally I like to have HDL code for useful components, rather than use a vendor black-box. The pipelined mux will map directly into 4-LUT or 6-LUT FPGA architectures - just set the parameters correctly. Cheers, Dave
