Filter Design HDL Coder 2.5

Customizing VHDL and Verilog Code

Filter Design HDL Coder generates filter and test bench HDL code for a quantized filter based on an option setting or on property name and property value pairs. These settings let you:

• Name language elements
• Specify port parameters
• Use advanced HDL coding features

All properties have default settings. You can customize the HDL output by adjusting the settings with the Filter Design HDL Coder dialog or the MATLAB command line. As an FDATool or FilterBuilder plug-in, the dialog enables you to set properties associated with:

• HDL language specification
• File name and location specifications
• Reset specifications
• HDL code optimizations
• Test bench customizations

Advanced options GUI for defining the characteristics of the generated code and specifying test benches. Click on image to see larger view.
