IP Altera FIR filter 6.1 multiple coef set problem

Hi! 

 

I created a FIR filter using Altera FIR IP v.6.1 (and Quartus v6.1). 

 

The characteristics of my filter are:  

 

-Rate specification : Decimation : 8 

-Number Of Input Channels : 1 

-Input Number System : Signed Binary  

-Input Bit Width : 12 

-Output Specification : Based On Method : Bit Width Only Full Resolution 

 

-I enter two different coefficient sets with 32 coefficients each 

 

-Coefficients Scaling Auto Bit Width 8 

-Device Family : Stratix II 

-Structure : Distributed Arithmetic : Fully Parallel Filter 

-Pipeline Level : 1 

-Data Storage : Logic Cells 

-Coefficients Storage : Logic Cells 

 

The problem is : the filter takes only the first coefficients set whatever the signal ("1" or "0") at the input "coef_set" of the filter. 

 

I tried to create the same filter in Single Rate and it works well. 

 

Why the coef_set selector does not work with Decimation?

I would stay away froim the version 6.1 version fo the FIR compiler. 

I cannot say for sure, but I think that I recall reading about lots of issues with this compiler (in that version). 

 

Upgrade to the latest tools (or at least 7.2) and see if the issue goes away.
