Parametrized, synthesizable FFT engine

Feb 05, 2014 1 Replies

Hi,



I have just published a simple, parametrized synthesizable FFT engine, which allows the user to define the length of FFT (as power of two), define the format of the numbers and adjust the engine to the latency of the "butterfly block". I couldn't find similar open source solution, so I decided to publish mine.



Of course it is the user's responsibility to implement the "butterfly block" working with the appropriate numbers representation.



The sources are published under BSD license both on OpenCores (

) and - the initial version on alt.sources ( subject: "Parametrized synthesizable FFT engine in VHDL", link to google archive:

)



I hope, that this design may be useful for someone, even though it is optimized rather for moderate resources usage, then for performance.



Sources provide the Octave script allowing to verify operation of the core. (Just run "octave test_fft.m" in Linux, with ghdl installed).


Regards, Wojtek

Hi,

I have just updated my parametrized FFT engine published on OpenCores:

I have added a new much faster implementation, which uses one butterfly block in each stage of the radix-2 FFT.

With best regards, Wojtek
