Viterbi IP Core Performance and Resource Utilization
This typical expected performance uses different architectures and constraint length, L, combinations,
and ACS units, A, and the Quartus II software. Performance largely depends on constraint length, L.
Hybrid Architecture
The typical expected performance for a hybrid Viterbi IP core uses the Quartus II software with the Arria
V (5AGXFB3H4F40C4), Cyclone V (5CGXFC7D6F31C6), and Stratix V (5SGSMD4H2F35C2) devices
and the following parameters:
• v = 6 × L
• softbits = 3
• N = 2
where:
• v is the traceback length
• L is the constraint length
• N is the number of coded bits
• A is the number of ACS units
