I/O Data Flow
Streaming FFT
The streaming FFT allows continuous processing of input data, and outputs a continuous complex data
stream without the need to halt the data flow in or out of the FFT IP core.
The streaming FFT generates a design with a quad output FFT engine and the minimum number of
parallel FFT engines for the required throughput.
A single FFT engine provides enough performance for up to a 1,024-point streaming I/O data flow FFT.
Using the Streaming FFT
When the data transfer is complete, the FFT deasserts
sink_sop
and loads the data samples in natural
order.
