    only DSP Builder blocks will generate synthesizable code to target Altera FPGAs. you can use other Simulink blocks as source/sink for DSP Builder systems.

    thanks for your reply..while designing simulink model can i use COMMON simulink blocks like ADD and SUB between the DSP BUILDER BLOCKS

    two more doubts sir:

    1.which block should i use for function x^y...where x and y are both input and y is fractional

    2.will there be problem if i use DSP builder blocks and ADVANCED DSP builder blocks together in a model...actually i want constant value which is in fraction..i didn't get any block from DSP builder library so i took block from ADVANCED lib

    3.from where i can get license for DSP BUILDER 9.0...and how

    1. variable "fractional root" is most probably not available, it's very complex in hardware.

    3. Just buy a license from Altera.
