HDL-Optimized Filters and Transforms

Choose blocks or System objects to create HDL-optimized hardware system designs

These DSP HDL Toolbox™ blocks and System objects implement hardware-friendly architectures and support HDL code generation when used with HDL Coder™. These blocks and System objects have high-throughput streaming interfaces, hardware control signals, and options to select different hardware implementations of their algorithms.

You can access these hardware-optimized algorithms, with the same interface and configuration options and without creating a model or script, by using the DSP HDL IP Designer app.
