Universal DSP Library

The Universal DSP Library is seamlessly integrated into AMD Vivado™ ML Design Suite: watch the tutorial.

Universal DSP Library IP Solution

Overview

Enclustra’s Universal DSP Library (EN_DSP) provides efficient FPGA implementations of the most common digital signal processing components, such as FIR and CIC filters, mixers, CORDIC and function approximations. It also provides the necessary glue logic needed to connect DSP systems together, such as multiplexers, stream splitters, buffers, TDM-parallel converters and fixed-point format converters.

The main emphasis is on minimizing development time. Every component is provided not only in raw VHDL source code, but also as a AMD Vivado™ ML Design Suite IPI block. This allows signal processing chains to be built rapidly using Vivado’s Block Design GUI, or by direct VHDL instantiation.

 

Highlights

  • Every component is provided in both raw VHDL and a AMD Vivado™ ML Design Suite IPI block.
  • Bit-true software models are provided for every DSP block (in Python), so the whole processing chain can be evaluated in software before stepping into FPGA implementation.
  • Reference designs are provided, showing how EN_DSP blocks can be connected to form signal processing systems.
  • Full documentation and bit-true software models are available for free.
  • Offers out-of-the-box solutions for:
    • Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter
    • Cascaded Integrator-Comb (CIC) decimating filter
    • Mixer
    • CORDIC
    • Function approximations

Benefits

  • Covers the common and repetitive DSP tasks, allowing developers to focus on critical project-specific details.
  • Massively reduces development time due to quick and easy integration and configuration using Vivado’s IP Integrator tools.
 

Features

  • Supports multiple independent data channels (both in parallel and TDM).
  • Supports continuous wave (CW) and pulse processing.
  • Supports real and complex (IQ) signals.
  • Uses a standardized and simple interface specification, based on the widely-used AXI4-Stream protocol.
