DSP Resources
■
Fulfills the DSP requirements of 3G and Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless
infrastructure applications, video processing applications, and voice processing
applications
■
DSP block input registers efficiently implement shift registers for finite impulse
response (FIR) filter applications
■
The Quartus II software includes megafunctions you can use to control the mode
of operation of the DSP blocks based on user-parameter settings
■
You can directly infer multipliers from the VHDL or Verilog HDL source code
I/O Features
■
Contains up to 20 modular I/O banks
■
All I/O banks support a wide range of single-ended and differential I/O
standards listed in
.
■
Supports programmable bus hold, programmable weak pull-up resistors, and
programmable slew rate control
■
For Arria II devices, calibrates OCT or driver impedance matching for
single-ended I/O standards with one OCT calibration block on the I/O banks
listed in
.
