HDL Streaming FFT
(Removed) Radix-2 FFT with decimation-in-frequency (DIF) — optimized for HDL code generation
The HDL Streaming FFT block has been removed. Use the FFT HDL Optimized block with the Architecture parameter
set to Streaming Radix 2^2, instead. For more information, see

Description
The HDL Streaming FFT block returns results identical to results returned by the Radix-2 DIF algorithm of the FFT block.
Block Inputs and Outputs
The block has these input ports:
din: The input data signal. The coder requires a complex fixed-point signal.start: Boolean control signal. Whenstartasserts true (1), the HDL Streaming FFT block initiates processing of a data frame.
The block has these output ports:
dout: Data output signal.dvalid: Boolean control signal. The HDL Streaming FFT block asserts this signal true (1) when a stream of valid output data is available at thedoutport.ready: Boolean control signal. The HDL Streaming FFT block asserts this signal true (1) to indicate that it is ready to process a new frame.
Timing Description
The HDL Streaming FFT block operates in one of two modes:
Continuous data streaming mode: In this mode, the HDL Streaming FFT block expects to receive a continuous stream of data at
din. After an initial delay, the block produces a continuous stream of data atdout.Non-continuous data streaming mode: In this mode, the HDL Streaming FFT block receives non-continuous bursts of streaming data at
din. After an initial delay, the block produces non-continuous bursts of streaming data atdout.
The behavior of the control signals determines the timing mode of the block.
Assertion of the start signal (active high) triggers processing
by the HDL Streaming FFT block. To initiate continuous data stream processing, assert
the start signal in one of the following ways:
Hold the start signal high (as shown in figure “Continuous Data Streaming With Start Signal Held High”).
Pulse the start signal every N clock cycles, where N is the FFT length (as shown in figure “Continuous Data Streaming With Pulsed Start Signal”).
One clock cycle after the start trigger, the block begins to
load data at din. After the first frame of streaming data, the
block starts to receive the next frame of streaming data.
Meanwhile, the block performs the FFT calculation on the incoming data frames and
outputs the results continuously at dout. The HDL Streaming FFT
block asserts and deasserts the ready and
dvalid signals automatically. The block asserts
dvalid high whenever the output data stream is valid. The block
asserts ready high to indicate that the block is ready to load a
new data frame. When ready is low, the block ignores the
start signal.
The following figures illustrate continuous data streaming. Each data frame corresponds to a stream of N input data values, where N is the FFT length.
Continuous Data Streaming With Start Signal Held High
Note
The start signal can be a single cycle pulse; it need not be
held high for the entire data frame. When processing for a frame begins, further
pulses on start do not affect
processing of that frame. However, a start pulse must occur at
the beginning of each data frame.
Continuous Data Streaming With Pulsed Start Signal
In this mode, the HDL Streaming FFT block receives continuous bursts of streaming
data at din. After an initial delay, the block produces
non-continuous bursts of streaming data at dout. Breaks occur
between data frames when the following condition exist:
The
startsignal does not assert every N clock cycles (where N is the FFT length)The
startsignal is not continuously held high.
Non-continuous data streaming mode allows you more flexibility in determining the intervals between input data streams.
The initial delay of the HDL Streaming FFT block is the interval between the following times:
The time the block begins to receive the first frame of input data
The time the block asserts
dvalidand produces the first valid output data.
The initial delay represents the time the block uses to load a data frame, calculate the FFT, and output the beginning of the first output frame. The following figure illustrates the initial delay.
If you select the block option Display computed initial delay on mask, the block icon displays the initial delay. The display represents the delay time as Z-n, where n is the delay time in samples.
Parameters
FFT Length
Default: 1024
The FFT length must be a power of 2, in the range 23 to 216.
Rounding mode
Default: Floor
The HDL Streaming FFT block supports all rounding modes of the FFT block. See also the FFT block reference.
Overflow mode
Default: Wrap
The HDL Streaming FFT block supports all overflow modes of the FFT block. See also the FFT block reference.
Sine table
Default: Same word length as input
Choose how you specify the word length of the values of the sine table. The fraction length of the sine table values is equal to the word length minus one.
When you select
Same word length as input, the word lengths of the sine table values match the word lengths of the block inputs.When you select
Specify word length, you can enter the word length of the sine table values, in bits, in the Sine table word length field. The sine table values do not obey the Rounding mode and Overflow mode parameters. They always saturate and round toNearest.
Product output
Default: Same as input
Use this parameter to specify how you want to designate the product output word and fraction lengths:
When you select
Same as input, these characteristics match the characteristics of the input to the block.Binary point scaling: Enter the word length and the fraction length of the product output, in bits, in the Product word length and Product fraction length fields.
Accumulator
Default: Same as input
Use this parameter to specify how you want to designate the accumulator word and fraction lengths:
When you select Same as product output, these
characteristics match the characteristics of the product output.
When you select
Same as input, these characteristics match the characteristics of the input to the block.Binary point scaling: Enter the word length and the fraction length of the accumulator, in bits, in the Accumulator word length and Accumulator fraction length fields.
Output
Default: Same as input
Choose how you specify the output word length and fraction length:
Same as input: these characteristics match the characteristics of the input to the block.Binary point scaling: lets you enter the word length and fraction length of the output, in bits, in the Output word length and Output fraction length fields.
Output in bit-reversed order
Default: Off
On: The output data stream is in bit-reversed order.
Off: The output data stream is in natural order.
For more information about the effects of bit reversal, see Linear and Bit-Reversed Output Order.
Display computed initial delay on mask
Default: Off
On: The block icon displays the initial delay as Z-n, where n is the delay time in samples.
Off: The block icon does not display the initial delay.
