Overview
Lattice's FFT Compiler offers forward and inverse Fast Fourier Transforms for
point sizes from 64 to 16384. This IP core can be configured to perform
forward FFT, inverse FFT (IFF T) or por t se lectab le forwar d /inve rse FFT. The FF T
compiler offers two choices of implementation: high performance (Streaming
I/O) and low resource (Burst I/O). In the high performance implementation,
the FFT IP core can perform real-time computations with continuous data streaming in and out at clock rate. There
can also be arbitrary gaps between data blocks allowing discontinuous data blocks. The low resource implementati
o
can be used when it is required to use lesser slices (logic unit of Lattice FPGA devices) and EBR (Embedded Block
RAM) resources or if the device is too small to accommodate the high performance version.
To account for the data growth in fine register length implementations, the FFT compiler allows one of three fixed
scaling or dynamic scaling after each radix-2 stage of the FFT computation. The low resource version also supports
block floating point arithmetic that provides increased dynamic range for intermediate computations. The FFT comp
also allows the number of FFT points to be varied dynamically through a port.
Features
Wide range of points sizes: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, and 16384
Choice of high-performance (streaming I/O) and low resource (burst I/O) versions
Run-time variable FFT point size
Forward, inverse or port- configurable forward/inverse transform modes
Choice of no scaling, fixed scaling (RS111/RS211) and dynamically variable stage-wise scaling
Data precision of 8 to 24 bits
Twiddle factor precision of 8 to 24 bits
Natural order for input and choice of bit-reversed or natural order for output
Support for arbitrary gaps between input data blocks in high-performance realization
Block floating point scaling support in low resource configurations
