" S% T' X/ p+ B: c5 d為滿足業界的高精度訊號處理需求,Altera開發了業界第一款精度可調DSP模組架構。這一種創新的架構支援FPGA中的每一個DSP模組在編譯時被配置為三個9x9、兩個18x18,一個27x27或者18x36乘法器模式,並可以使用多個DSP模組來實現精度更高的模式。這一種架構在每個模組的基礎上,每一個模組都可支援各種精度,每個DSP模組支援從低解析度固點視訊到單精度浮點,直至使用較少外部邏輯的雙精度浮點。如果需要瞭解Altera精度可調DSP模組架構的詳細資訊,閱讀架構相關的白皮書或者觀看網播,請瀏覽www.altera.com/dsp-variable-precision。# g- g0 _: V6 C7 F* _8 Q, f v. b) R
