8 years agoProblem with FIR II core
Hello, I am trying to use 11 taps symmetrical FIR using the IP Catalog in Quartus 14.1 My data are in signed Q.15 format with sampling rate 288MHz. I get the data in packets of 4 samples (...

8 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi kaz, In the mega wizard for the FIR I specify: - Clock Rate 72 - Input Sample rate (MSPS) 288 As per the documentation this enables the FIR to work in TDM mode. In the generated interface module for the FIR I have checked that inputs and outputs become 64bit. What I am not clear is if this TDM mode consider those 4 samples as one signal or as 4 independent signals. Obviously I want to implement only one channel with one signal stream (getting it in a 4 samples chunks) If what I am doing is not OK, what is the proper way this to be done? Apart of the obvious splitting of the 4 samples, clocking the FIR at 288MHz and then combining the output data in 4 sample chunks. Thank you.
