Problem Title:
COREGEN: How to cascade the Serial and Parallel ROM-based Correlators
Problem Description:
Urgency: standard
General Description:
The CORE Generator Correlator datasheets indicate that you can cascade
these modules to create larger functions, but do not document how this
can be done.
Solution 1:
1. Determine the number of correlators which will be required to
detect your match pattern. (The widest pattern that a single CORE
Generator correlator can detect is 128 bits.)
2. Split the match pattern up between the component correlators.
For example, if your match pattern is 256 bits wide, you will need to
use two 128-bit correlators and build one correlator to detect the
first half of the match pattern (the first 128 bits), and another
correlator to detect the other half of the match pattern.
3. Generate the modules
Serial Correlator:
-------------------------
4. Connect all the clock inputs of the cascaded correlators to
the same clock source
5. Connect SDOUT of each correlator which feeds another
correlator to the target correlator's SDIN pin
6. Add up the SUM outputs of each correlator component to
get the overall total and register this result
Parallel Correlator:
----------------------------
4. Connect all the clock inputs of the cascaded correlators to
the same clock source
5. Split the input data into whatever size chunks each COREGEN
correlator has been generated to support and feed the appropriate chunk
to
each correlator block
6. Add the SUM outputs together and register the resulting sum
