Description |
|
data_in[15..0] |
Input |
The input is a 16-bit signed value. New data can be sent to the multiplier once every clock cycle. |
|
lsb_coef_in[17:0] |
Input |
Coefficient update port for LSB input bits. Pre-calculated coefficient values on this port will be stored in to locations specified by coef_add_in when the coef_wren signal is enabled. |
|
msb_coef_in[17:0] |
Input |
Coefficient update port for MSB input bits. Pre-calculated coefficient values on this port will be stored in to locations specified by coef_add_in when the coef_wren signal is enabled. |
|
coef_add_in[7:0] |
Input |
Coefficient update address port. This specifies which address location a particular pre-calculated coefficient value is written to. This port feeds both the LSB and MSB RAM blocks so the LSB and MSB coefficients can be updated at the same time. |
|
coef_wren |
Input |
Coefficient write/update enable. If coef_wren is high, the RAM blocks will start to accept pre-calculated coefficient values on the lsb_coef_in and msb_coef_in signals and store them in the locations specified by the coef_add_in signal. This signal has to remain high till all the pre-calculated coefficient values have been updated in the RAM blocks. |

Output |
The output is a 26-bit signed value. New value is available on the output once every clock cycle. |
