Figure 3-52: FFT Timing Characteristics

For 16-point FFTs, the block is always in the "ready for data" state and output frames are delivered continuously. Thus, there are no stall periods (stall = stall_0 = 0), and the frame variable of the timing diagram defaults to 16 sample periods. There is, however, a pipeline delay (i.e., it takes some time for the first output frame to appear) with frame_0 = 84 sample periods.

Xilinx LogiCORE

The block always uses the Xilinx LogiCORE fft V1.0 (Virtex) or FFT V2.0 (Virtex-II). The number of points supported are N=16, 64, 256, or 1024. The 64, 256, and 1024 point FFTs contain external memories implemented with the LogiCORE Dual Port Block Memory V3.2. The number of memory blocks (either 1, 2, or 3) determines the timing characteristics and size of the implementation. The FFT LogiCOREs support only 16-bit data, although in simulation, the System Generator FFT block supports other data sizes.
