Operational Overview
The PDSP16256 is an application specific FIR filter for
use in high performance digital signal processing
systems. Sampling rates can be up to 25MHz. The
device provides the filter function without any software
development, and the options are simply selected by
loading a control register. The device can be user
configured as either a single filter, or as two separate
filters. The latter can provide two independent filters for
the in-phase and quadrature channels after IQ splitting,
or can provide two filters in cascade for greater stop
band rejection.
through’ are not permissible in the system.
Coefficients can be loaded from a host system using a
conventional peripheral interface and separate data
bus. Alternatively, they can be loaded as a complete set
from a byte wide EPROM. The device produces
addresses for the EPROM and a BUSY output indicates
that the transfer is occurring. Up to sixteen devices can
have their coefficients supplied from a single EPROM.
These devices need not necessarily be part of the same
filter network.
Each of the filter networks shown in Fig. 4 contains eight
systolic multiplier accumulator stages; an example with
four stages is shown in Fig. 5. Input data flows through

is passed onto the next stage every fourth cycle. The
structure described is highly efficient when used to
calculate filtered results from continuous input data.
A comprehensive digital filter design program is
availableforPCcompatiblemachines. Thiswilloptimise
the filter coefficients for the filter type required and
number of taps available at the selected sample rate
within the PDSP16256 device. An EPROM file can be
automatically generated in Motorola S-record format.
The device operates from a system clock, with rates up
to 25MHz. This clock must be 1, 2, 4, or 8 times the
required sampling frequency, with the higher
multiplication rates producing longer filter networks at
the expense of lower sampling rates. Devices can be
connected in cascade to produce longer filter lengths.
This can be accomplished without the need for any
additional external data delays, and all the single device
options remain available.
Continuous inputs are accepted, and continuous results
produced after the internal pipeline delay. Connection
can be made directly to an A-D converter. The filter
operation can be synchronised to a Filter Enable signal
(FEN) whose positive going edge marks the first data
sample. Theinternalmultiplieraccumulatorarraycanbe
cleared with a dedicated input. This is necessary if
