Description
in_error
error
Input
Error signal. Specifies if the input data symbol is an
error and whether the decoder can consider it as an
erasure. Erasures-supporting decoders only.
out_
startof-
packet
sop
Output
Start of packet (codeword) signal. This signal
indicates the codeword boundaries on the
in_
data[]
bus. When the IP core drives this signal
high, it indicates that the start of packet is present
on the
in_data[]
bus. The IP core asserts this
signal on the first transfer of every codeword.
out_
endofpacket
eop
Output
End of packet (codeword) signal. This signal
indicates the packet boundaries on the
in_data[]
bus. When the IP core drives this signal high, it
indicates that the end of packet is present on the
in_data[]
bus. The IP core asserts this signal on
the last transfer of every packet.
out_ready
ready
Input
Data transfer ready signal to indicate that the
downstream module is ready to accept data. The
source provides new data (if available) when you
assert the
out_ready
signal and stops providing
new data when you deassert the
out_ready
signal.
If the source is unable to provide new data, it
deasserts
out_valid
for one or more clock cycles
until it is prepared to drive valid data interface
signals.
out_valid
valid
Output
Data valid signal. The IP core asserts the
out_valid
signal high, whenever a valid output is on
out_
data
; the IP core deasserts the signal when there is
no valid output on
out_data
.
out_data
data
Output
Contains decoded output when the IP core asserts
the
out_valid
signal. The corrected symbols are in
the same order that they are entered.
out_channel
channel
Output
Specifies the channel whose result is presented at
out_data
. Available only when you configure the
IP core to support multiple channels.
out_error
error
Output
Indicates non-correctable codeword (decoder only).
Valid when the IP core asserts
out_endofpacket
.
