Description
36
------------------
37
 
38
CORDIC is the acronym for COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer and
39
allows a hardware efficient calculation of various functions
40
like - atan, sin, cos - atanh, sinh, cosh, - division, multiplication.
41
Hardware efficient means, that only shifting, additions and
42
subtractions in combination with table-lookup is required. This makes
43
it suitable for a realization in digital hardware. Good
44
introductions can be found in [1][2][3][5].
45
 
46
 
47
 
48
The following six CORDIC modes are supported:
49
- trigonometric rotation
50
- trigonometric vectoring
51
- linear rotation
52
- linear vectoring
53
- hyperbolic rotation
54
- hyperbolic vectoring
55
 
56
 
57
Furthermore, the CORDIC algorithm is implemented for iterative
58
processing which means, that the IP-core is started
59
with a set of input data and after a specific amount of
60
clock cycles, the result is
61
available. No parallel data can be processed.
62
 
63
In addition to an IP-core written in VHDL, a bit-accurate C-model
64
is provided. This C-model can be compiled as mex for a usage with Octave or
65
Matlab. Therefore, this C-model allows a bit-accurate analysis
66
of the CORDIC performance on a higher level.

 ./c_octave :  contains a bit-accurate C-implementation of the YAC.
101
               This C-implementation is used for analyzing the performance
102
               and to generate RTL testbench stimulus
103
               (cordic_iterative_test.m).
104
               The file cordic_iterative_code.m is used to create some
105
               VHDL/C-code automatically.
106
 
107
 ./rtl/vhdl :  Contains the VHDL implementation files
108
 
109
 ./doc      :  Will contain a detailed documentation in future.
