Features and Description
The Altera® FIR Compiler MegaCore® function generates finite impulse response (FIR) filters customized for Altera devices. You can use the IP Toolbench interface to implement a variety of filter architectures, including fully parallel, serial, or multibit serial distributed arithmetic and multicycle fixed/variable filters. The FIR Compiler also includes a coefficient generator.
The FIR Compiler function speeds your design cycle by:
- Providing a fully integrated FIR filter development environment
- Generating the coefficients needed to design custom FIR filters
- Generating bit-accurate and clock-cycle-accurate FIR filter models in Verilog HDL, VHDL, and MATLAB
- Automatically generating the code required for the Quartus® II software to synthesize high-speed, area-efficient FIR filters of various architectures
- Creating Quartus II test vectors to test the FIR filter's impulse response
- Generating a VHDL testbench for all architectures
The FIR Compiler MegaCore function generated by this complier also:
- Supports a variety of distributed arithmetic and multiplier-based filter architectures up to 2,047 taps
- Generates MATLAB simulation models and testbench
- Generates a VHDL testbench for all architectures
- Is highly optimized for Altera device architectures
- Provides precision control of chip resource utilization
- Utilizes logic cells, M512, M4K, M-RAM, MLAB, M9K, or M144K blocks for data storage
- Utilizes logic cells, M512, M4K, MLAB, or M9K blocks for coefficient storage
