Standard Features the Core Supports


  • Design-time configuration of encoder polynomials (different number of states and different code rates)
  • Support for recursive and non-recursive convolutional codes
  • Windowing technique for reduced latency and memory requirements (with acquisition)
  • Design-time configuration of quantization, maximum window size, RAM usage (distributed RAM vs. Block RAM)
  • Run-time configuration of block length
  • Run-time configuration of window length and acquisition length
  • Block-to-block on-the-fly configuration


      

  Your Benefits


      

  • Configurable for most standards that apply convolutional codes (GSM, UMTS, CDMA, CDMA2000, WiMAX, WiFi, DAB, DVB, GMR, WiMedia …)
  • Pipelined design for high payload throughputs (about 1 bit per clock cycle).
  • AXI4-Stream interface for simple integration


  •  Up to 250 MHz on AMD Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA (Speedgrade 1)
  • VHDL source code available under GPL license (hosted at opencores.org)
  • Certified by OpenCores
  • Commercial support and licenses available
