AXI ADC Decimate#

The AXI ADC Decimate IP core allows decimating the input data by 10/100/1000/10000/100000, with filtering and arbitrary decimation by dropping samples.

More about the generic framework interfacing ADCs can be read here at Generic AXI ADC.

Important

The axi_adc_decimate was designed to interface with 12-bit converters. Even though the input data bus width is 16, it will not work with anything higher than 12-bit sign extended (to 16-bit) data.

Features#

AXI Lite control/status interface
Allows decimation by 10/100/1000/10000/100000 with filtering
Allows arbitrary decimation by dropping samples
Filtering is implemented by a 6-section CIC programmable rate filter and a compensation FIR filter.

Detailed Description#

For some applications, the maximum sampling rate is not required and leads to lots of samples transferred to memory. To avoid it, the decimation IP can be used.

The decimation block allows decimating the input data so that the sampling frequency can be reduced by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, with filtering.

The filtering is implemented by a 6-section CIC programmable rate filter which allows decimation by 5/50/500/5000/50000 and a compensation FIR filter (decimation by 2).

At the end of the filter chain, there is an arbitrary decimation block. The arbitrary decimation can be activated independently and it does not implement any type of filtering.
