Sine/Cosine/Arctan LUTs of any width and table depth.



Problem Description:

The table on p.7 of the DSP brochure on WebLINX indicates that
Xilinx supports Sine/Cosine/Arctan LUTs of any bit width and
table depth.

The brochure in question is located at:

   http://www.xilinx.com/products/logicore/docs/dsp/dspbroch.pdf


Solution 1:

This entry in the table is incorrect, based on the cores
we currently supply:

1. There is a limit of 10 bits on input bit width when
    using the CORE Generator to generate this function.
2. Table depth is *not* unlimited when using the
    CORE Generator to generate this function.
3. We are not currently shipping an Arctan Look-up Table
    module.
