Across a range of applications, the two most common functions implemented in FPGA-based high-performance signal processing are finite impulse response (FIR) filters and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

Crafting DSP algorithms for optimum performance in hardware often requires sophisticated design techniques, such as pipelining and overclocked control logic. Such is the case for implementations using ...

In considering the design option for DSP vs. FPGA it is helpful to compare both architectures in a FIR filter application, writes Reg Zatrepalek One of the most widely used digital signal-processing ...
