Parameters specific to the block are:
• Coefficients: vector of filter coefficients; note that these can be evaluated from
a MATLAB workspace variable and may in turn be computed by MATLAB. You
can also refer to examples in the System Generator Tutorial.
• Coefficient Structure: Xilinx Smart-IP core preferred implementation
depends on the structure of the sequence of filter taps. You can choose one of
these: inferred from coefficients, none, symmetric, negative symmetric, half band,
and interpolate fir.
• Number of bits per coefficient: Xilinx fixed point parameter.
• Binary point for coefficients: Xilinx fixed point parameter.
• Coefficient arithmetic type: Xilinx fixed point parameter.
• Number of Channels: One to eight, inclusive. For multi-channel filters,
polyphase behavior is not supported, i.e. the filter must be single rate. The core,
which processes the channels serially, will be overclocked by the System
Generator by a factor equaling the number of channels so as to provide the
necessary throughput. To reduce control logic overhead, the block requires that
the valid bits match on all inputs.
