System Generator for DSP provides the capability to model and implement high-
performance DSP systems in field- programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using Simulink.
The Xilinx Blockset contains bit and cycle-true models of arithmetic and logic functions,
memories, and DSP functions for digital filtering, spectral analysis, and digital
communications. System Generator converts a Simulink model of Xilinx blocks into an
efficient hardware implementation that combines synthesizable VHDL and intellectual
property blocks that have been hand-crafted to run efficiently in FPGAs.
Included with the tool are numerous demonstration designs that highlight key features
and tool capabilities, as well as general good design practices using real-world design
applications. These designs may be accessed from the System Generator demo page. Enter
the following command at the MATLAB prompt:
