Reading data from a file and assign those into a parametric array in verilogAMS

I’m not sure what you mean by “parametric array”. Can you please expand your question with more detail as to what you are trying to do?

Dear Andrew,

I am writing a verilog code for synthesizing a FIR filter with 50 taps.

Each tap value is represented in CSD (Canonical Signed Digit) format of length 11, so that the tap multiplication with the delayed input data is achieved by simple shifting and signed additions. For example:- a tap value of 0.1621  = 2^-3 + 2^-5 +2^-7 - 2^-9. Its CSD equivalent of length 11 is: 0 -1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 0 0.

Now, the CSDs of all 50 tap values is stored in a file as 50 x 11 matrix format.  This should be read into a parameter called tap_CSD anmd used in a generate block as  shown below.

Note, this code should be for behavioural simulation and should be fully synthesizable.

int [49:0]  tap_CSD[10:0];

// Read data from the file into tap_CSD

......

......

reg [49:0] data_in[23:0] ;

......

.....

reg [23:0] r

wire [49:0] dataMultiplyOut[23:0] ;

genvar ind1,ind2;

generate

for (ind2=0;ind2 <= 50; ind2=ind2+1) begin

       for (ind1=0;ind1 <= 0;ind1=ind1+1) begin

             if( tap_CSD[ind2][ind1]  == 1 ) begin

                   r= r + data_in[ind2][ind1]  >>  ind1 ;   // Shifting + addition

             end

             else if  ( tap_CSD[ind2][ind1]  == -1 ) begin

                 r= r - data_in[ind2][ind1] >> ind1;   // Shifting + Substraction

            end

            assign  dataMultiplyOut[ind2] = r

       end

 end

endgenerate

Dear Andrew,

Does my previous answer clears your confusion ?

Since this appears to be a pure Verilog question (since you also talk about it needing to be synthesizable) I'll move this to the Logic Design forum since you're more likely to find people with the right expertise there.

Andrew
