Re: Length Correlation in VHDL

Altera_Forum · ‎06-11-2014

i have here a programme that calculate the correlation of data bits with 8 bits as length in this case i will need for the calculation 4 stage the figure explain the program , so i want to do it with variable length 16 or n for length so can you help plz

Thank you in advance for you reponse

library ieee;use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

This is just a standard N tap FIR.

First of all, I suggest you bring in all C co-efficients separately, not as a single bus.

Second, for N taps, you will probably need a package to create the array types to make the design generic.

I dont know why you have declared RAM and ROM types - there is no RAM or ROM in your drawings. They are just arrays of registers.

I would also suggest putting registers after each multiplier and adder stage, or the fmax is going to be very low.
