6.13.2. Automatic Gain Control

This design example implements an automatic gain control.

This design example shows a complex loop with several subloops that it schedules and pipelines without inserting registers. The design example spreads a lumped delay around the circuit to satisfy timing while maintaining correctness. Processor visible registers control the thresholds and gains.

In complex algorithmic circuits, the zero-latency blocks make it easy to follow a data value through the circuit and investigate the algorithm without offsetting all the results by the pipelining delays.

The top-level testbench includes Control, Signals, Run ModelSim, and Run Quartus Prime blocks.

The AGC_Chip subsystem includes the Device block, a RegField block and a lower level AGC subsystem.

The AGC subsystem includes RegField, ChannelIn, ChannelOut, Mult, SampleDelay, Add, Sub, Convert, Abs, CmpGE, Lut, Const, SharedMem, Shift, BitExtract, Select, and SynthesisInfo blocks.
