Re: DSP on FPGA
Hi jnanabindhu,
Implementation of FIR/MAC units on FPGAs is not a big problem as u know vhdl/verilog programming. i hope u r not familiar with the MAC/Filter architectures.
Study the architecture first.
There r many ways to implement these on FPGA,
1.HDL Coding
2.readymade IP's using CoreGenerator
3.BlockLevel Modelling using SystemGenerator under xilinx
U can expect a very good performance, when u r porting these MAC/FIR designs onto FPGA, as it has got many multipliers inside.
The new Virtex-4 architecture, has even got MAC engines inside, to improve the timing performance.
