Tools aid Xilinx FPGA DSP implementations

Version 10.1 of the System Generator for DSP tool and the AccelDSP synthesis tool for Xilinx FPGAs features the addition of direct FPGA implementation path for DSP algorithms described using imaginary and complex numbers. Complex arithmetic is used extensively in communications, defense and medical applications. The tools provide support for the imaginary unit “i” or “j” complex data types.

The tools include improved support for interfacing to external video sources through the MicroBlaze embedded processor and a video frame buffer controller IP core. (System Generator for DSP, $895; XtremeDSP, $1495available now.)
