The SideWorks Lite Low Latency Mixed-Radix FFT/IFFT (CWfftmrll04) is part of the SideWorks™ family of proven DSP kernel cores and performs complex FFT/IFFT computations for various block sizes with minimal latency at the cost of extra hardware. The block size is configurable and can be set by means of a control register, which is also used to start the computation.  The block start signal can be monitored to know when the computation is ready. The blocks to be processed, as well as the computed frequency coefficients, can be read from the block’s internal memory, which is optionally memory mapped on the system’s bus interface (AMBA, CoreConnect, or others). This IP block is implemented using the Coreworks proprietary SideWorks™ DSP engine technology, which ensures small silicon area, low power and rapid development time
