13.3.1. Bit Reverse Core C (BitReverseCoreC and VariableBitReverse)

The BitReverseCoreC block performs buffering and bit reversal of incoming FFT frames.

A single synthesis time parameter specifies the length N of the fast Fourier transform.

The bit reversal that this block applies is appropriate only for transform sizes that are an integer power of two. The block is single-buffered to support full streaming operation with minimal overhead.

The VariableBitReverse block performs buffering and bit-reversal of variable-sized FFT frames for designs with a VFFT or VFFT_Float block. A single synthesis-time parameter N specifies the length 2N of the largest frame that the block handles. The VariableBitReverse block has an additional input: size, which specifies the length 2size of the current frame.

To reconfigure the VariableBitReverse block between frames, observe the following rules:

  • Ensure the size input is always in the range 0 <= size <= N.
  • Keep the size input constant while the VariableBitReverse block is processing a frame.
  • When you reconfigure the VariableBitReverse, you must completely flush the VariableBitReverse block before changing the value of the size input. You must wait at least 2oldSize (where oldSize is the previous value of the size input) cycles before providing valid input to the VFFT.
