RF Engines' FFT Library provides developers with a range of high performance Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) cores for Xilinx FPGA. The cores are designed to be highly silicon efficient and support complex sample rates up to 500 MHz.
The library is provided on a single CD, and includes more than sixty individual FFT netlists based on RF Engines industry leading HiSpeed and QuadSpeed architectures. A wide range of FFT lengths are provided ranging from 32-point up to 32K-points. Furthermore, each core includes a bit-true Matlab model that can be used to precisely simulate the performance of the FFT reducing the risk of problems when implemented on the target device.
The FFT Library supports Xilinx Spartan III, Xilinx Virtex II, and Xilinx Virtex II Pro FPGA devices. Virtex 4 FPGA devices can also be targeted using the Virtex II Pro netlists supplied.
The Xilinx FFT library is priced at $2,495 (USD), which includes a site-wide licence covering development and final product manufacture.
