LogiCORE Reed Solomon Decoder - Clarification of processing delay specification
説明
Keywords:
For a certain combination of parameter selections, including Symbols per Block(n) = 164, the Reed Solomon Decoder generator reports a Latency = 391 and Processing Delay = 221, followed by a message indicating that the Processing Delay "must be less than 165 for continuous code blocks"
What does this mean?
(The complete set of parameters were as follows:
Symbol Width = 8 Field Polynomial = 285 Generator Start = 0 Data Symbols(k) = 152 Symbols Per Block(n) = 164 Synchronization Mode = Start Pulse Optional Pins = Clock Enable, Synchronous Reset, Erase Clock Period Per Symbol = 1 )
ソリューション
The interpretation of these messages from the generator is as follows:
The symbols within a code word or block (the 164 symbols for this example) can be input continuously. However, between successive code words or blocks, you must leave a gap of 221-164 = 57 symbol periods before the next block may be started. If the processing delay is less than or equal to 164, then no gap is needed.
The processing delay can be reduced by increasing the number of clock periods per symbol, or by increasing k, the number of information symbols per code word.
