This document introduces the Reed-Solomon II MegaCore function of Altera, including features, usage methods, etc.
The Altera Reed-Solomon II MegaCore function comprises a fully parameterizable high-speed parallel encoder and decoder for forward error correction applications. RS codes are widely used for error detection and correction in a wide range of DSP applications for storage, retrieval, and transmission of data. The MegaCore function supports multiple channels that reduces resource usage and increases throughput.
The guide covers the installation and licensing of the IP core within the Quartus II software, the design flow using the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager, and parameter settings. It also provides a functional description of the architecture, including interfaces, clock and reset signals, and the encoder and decoder components.
