LDPC IP Device Family Support
Altera offers the following device support levels for Altera FPGA IP cores:
- Advance support—the IP core is available for simulation and compilation for this device family. FPGA programming file (.pof) support is not available for Quartus Prime Pro Stratix 10 Edition Beta software and as such IP timing closure cannot be guaranteed. Timing models include initial engineering estimates of delays based on early post-layout information. The timing models are subject to change as silicon testing improves the correlation between the actual silicon and the timing models. You can use this IP core for system architecture and resource utilization studies, simulation, pinout, system latency assessments, basic timing assessments (pipeline budgeting), and I/O transfer strategy (data-path width, burst depth, I/O standards tradeoffs).
- Preliminary support—Altera verifies the IP core with preliminary timing models for this device family. The IP core meets all functional requirements, but might still be undergoing timing analysis for the device family. You can use it in production designs with caution.
- Final support—Altera verifies the IP core with final timing models for this device family. The IP core meets all functional and timing requirements for the device family. You can use it in production designs.

Getting Started with the LDPC IP Core
Installing and Licensing Intel FPGA IP Cores
The Intel® Quartus® Prime software installs IP cores in the following locations by default:
Location | Software | Platform |
---|---|---|
<drive>:\intelFPGA_pro\quartus\ip\altera | Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition | Windows® |
<drive>:\intelFPGA\quartus\ip\altera | Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition | Windows |
<home directory>:/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/ip/altera | Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition | Linux® |
<home directory>:/intelFPGA/quartus/ip/altera | Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition | Linux |
Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode
- Simulate the behavior of a licensed Intel® FPGA IP core in your system.
- Verify the functionality, size, and speed of the IP core quickly and easily.
- Generate time-limited device programming files for designs that include IP cores.
- Program a device with your IP core and verify your design in hardware.
Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode supports the following operation modes:
- Tethered—Allows running the design containing the licensed Intel® FPGA IP indefinitely with a connection between your board and the host computer. Tethered mode requires a serial joint test action group (JTAG) cable connected between the JTAG port on your board and the host computer, which is running the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer for the duration of the hardware evaluation period. The Programmer only requires a minimum installation of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, and requires no Intel® Quartus® Prime license. The host computer controls the evaluation time by sending a periodic signal to the device via the JTAG port. If all licensed IP cores in the design support tethered mode, the evaluation time runs until any IP core evaluation expires. If all of the IP cores support unlimited evaluation time, the device does not time-out.
- Untethered—Allows running the design containing the licensed IP for a limited time. The IP core reverts to untethered mode if the device disconnects from the host computer running the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. The IP core also reverts to untethered mode if any other licensed IP core in the design does not support tethered mode.
When the evaluation time expires for any licensed Intel® FPGA IP in the design, the design stops functioning. All IP cores that use the Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode time out simultaneously when any IP core in the design times out. When the evaluation time expires, you must reprogram the FPGA device before continuing hardware verification. To extend use of the IP core for production, purchase a full production license for the IP core.
You must purchase the license and generate a full production license key before you can generate an unrestricted device programming file. During Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode, the Compiler only generates a time-limited device programming file (<project name> _time_limited.sof) that expires at the time limit.
Altera® licenses IP cores on a per-seat, perpetual basis. The license fee includes first-year maintenance and support. You must renew the maintenance contract to receive updates, bug fixes, and technical support beyond the first year. You must purchase a full production license for Intel® FPGA IP cores that require a production license, before generating programming files that you may use for an unlimited time. During Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode, the Compiler only generates a time-limited device programming file (<project name> _time_limited.sof) that expires at the time limit. To obtain your production license keys, visit the Self-Service Licensing Center or contact your local Intel FPGA representative.
The Altera® FPGA Software License Agreements govern the installation and use of licensed IP cores, the Intel® Quartus® Prime design software, and all unlicensed IP cores.
LDPC IP Core Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode Timeout Behavior
For IP cores, the untethered time-out is 1 hour; the tethered time-out value is indefinite. Your design stops working after the hardware evaluation time expires. The Quartus Prime software uses Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode Files (.ocp) in your project directory to identify your use of the Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode evaluation program. After you activate the feature, do not delete these files..
When the evaluation time expires, for LDPC IP core encoders out_data goes low and rst goes high; for decoders cw_out_data goes low, rst goes high .
IP Catalog and Parameter Editor
- Filter IP Catalog to Show IP for active device family or Show IP for all device families. If you have no project open, select the Device Family in IP Catalog.
- Type in the Search field to locate any full or partial IP core name in IP Catalog.
- Right-click an IP core name in IP Catalog to display details about supported devices, to open the IP core's installation folder, and for links to IP documentation.
- Click Search for Partner IP to access partner IP information on the web.
The parameter editor prompts you to specify an IP variation name, optional ports, and output file generation options. The parameter editor generates a top-level Intel® Quartus® Prime IP file (.ip) for an IP variation in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition projects.
The parameter editor generates a top-level Quartus IP file (.qip) for an IP variation in Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition projects. These files represent the IP variation in the project, and store parameterization information.
Generating IP Cores ( Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition)
- Create or open an Intel® Quartus® Prime project (.qpf) to contain the instantiated IP variation.
- In the IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog), locate and double-click the name of the IP core to customize. To locate a specific component, type some or all of the component’s name in the IP Catalog search box. The New IP Variation window appears.
- Specify a top-level name for your custom IP variation. Do not include spaces in IP variation names or paths. The parameter editor saves the IP variation settings in a file named <your_ip> .ip. Click OK. The parameter editor appears.
-
Set the parameter values in the parameter editor and view the
block diagram for the component. The Parameterization Messages tab at the bottom displays any errors
in IP parameters:
- Optionally, select preset parameter values if provided for your IP core. Presets specify initial parameter values for specific applications.
- Specify parameters defining the IP core functionality, port configurations, and device-specific features.
- Specify options for processing the IP core files in other EDA tools.
Note: Refer to your IP core user guide for information about specific IP core parameters. - Click Generate HDL. The Generation dialog box appears.
- Specify output file generation options, and then click Generate. The synthesis and simulation files generate according to your specifications.
- To generate a simulation testbench, click Generate > Generate Testbench System. Specify testbench generation options, and then click Generate.
- To generate an HDL instantiation template that you can copy and paste into your text editor, click Generate > Show Instantiation Template.
- Click Finish. Click Yes if prompted to add files representing the IP variation to your project.
-
After generating
and instantiating your IP variation, make appropriate pin assignments to
connect ports.
Note: Some IP cores generate different HDL implementations according to the IP core parameters. The underlying RTL of these IP cores contains a unique hash code that prevents module name collisions between different variations of the IP core. This unique code remains consistent, given the same IP settings and software version during IP generation. This unique code can change if you edit the IP core's parameters or upgrade the IP core version. To avoid dependency on these unique codes in your simulation environment, refer to Generating a Combined Simulator Setup Script.

- Generate simulation model, testbench (or example design), and simulator setup script files.
- Set up your simulator environment and any simulation scripts.
- Compile simulation model libraries.
- Run your simulator.
LDPC IP Core Specifications
LDPC IP Core Interfaces
The number of symbols per beat is fixed to 1.
Avalon-ST Interfaces in DSP IP Cores
The input interface is an Avalon-ST sink and the output interface is an Avalon-ST source. The Avalon-ST interface supports packet transfers with packets interleaved across multiple channels.
Avalon-ST interface signals can describe traditional streaming interfaces supporting a single stream of data without knowledge of channels or packet boundaries. Such interfaces typically contain data, ready, and valid signals. Avalon-ST interfaces can also support more complex protocols for burst and packet transfers with packets interleaved across multiple channels. The Avalon-ST interface inherently synchronizes multichannel designs, which allows you to achieve efficient, time-multiplexed implementations without having to implement complex control logic.
Avalon-ST interfaces support backpressure, which is a flow control mechanism where a sink can signal to a source to stop sending data. The sink typically uses backpressure to stop the flow of data when its FIFO buffers are full or when it has congestion on its output.
Clock and Reset Interfaces
LDPC IP Core Signals
Name | Avalon-ST Type | Direction | Description |
---|---|---|---|
in_data[] | data | Input | Data input for each codeword. Valid only when you assert the in_valid signal. In Qsys systems, this Avalon-ST compliant data bus includes all the Avalon-ST input data signals. |
in_endofpacket | eop | Input | End of packet (codeword) signal. |
in_number | - | Input |
Variable rate DOCSIS only. in_number is active at SOP. It is a 3-bit signal
|
in_rate | - | Input |
Variable rate WiMedia only. in_rate is active at SOP. It is a 4-bit width signal:
|
in_ready | ready | Output | Data transfer ready signal to indicate that the sink is ready to accept data. The sink interface drives the in_ready signal to control the flow of data across the interface. The sink interface captures the data interface signals on the current clk rising edge. |
in_startofpacket | sop | Input | Start of packet (codeword) signal. |
in_valid | valid | Input | Data valid signal to indicate the validity of the data signals. When you assert the in_valid signal, the Avalon-ST data interface signals are valid. When you deassert the in_valid signal, the Avalon-ST data interface signals are invalid and must be disregarded. You can assert the in_valid signal whenever data is available. However, the sink only captures the data from the source when the IP core asserts the in_ready signal. |
out_data | data | Output | The out_data signal contains decoded output when the IP core asserts the out_valid signal. The corrected symbols are in the same order that they are entered. |
out_endofpacket | eop | Output | End of packet (codeword) signal. This signal indicates the packet boundaries on the in_data[] bus. When the IP core drives this signal high, it indicates that the end of packet is present on the in_data[] bus. The IP core asserts this signal on the last transfer of every packet. |
out_startofpacket | sop | Output | Start of packet (codeword) signal. This signal indicates the codeword boundaries on the in_data[] bus. When the IP core drives this signal high, it indicates that the start of packet is present on the in_data[] bus. The IP core asserts this signal on the first transfer of every codeword. |
out_ready | ready | Input | Data transfer ready signal to indicate that the downstream module is ready to accept data. The source provides new data (if available) when you assert the out_ready signal and stops providing new data when you deassert the out_ready signal. If the source is unable to provide new data, it deasserts out_valid for one or more clock cycles until it is prepared to drive valid data interface signals. |
out_valid | valid | Output | Data valid signal. The IP core asserts the out_valid signal high, whenever there is a valid output on out_data ; the IP core deasserts the signal when there is no valid output on out_data . |
LDPC IP Core Backpressure
When out_ready goes low, the FIFO buffer stores the data produced by the encoder. If the FIFO buffer is almost full, it sends a signal that sets in_ready to low and stops the flow of input data from the source. At that point if out_ready goes high once again, the FIFO buffer outputs the stored data until it is almost empty. Then it sets in_ready to high to produce more data.

Full-streaming architecture | No or yes | With full streaming architecture, the decoder can accept data while decoding if the level of parallelization is sufficient. NASA only. |
Layered decoding | No or yes | NASA GSFC-STD-9100 decoder only |
Output parity check bits | No or yes | Decoder provides output parity check bits or information bits only. |
