A Study on FPGA-based Design of Combining MATLAB with QuartsII

Nowadays,extensive using of FPGA makes the software QuartusⅡ very important in many fields.Because of its limitation,when designing,however,setting the signal source is not as convenient as in MATLAB.But MATLAB has its disadvantages too,it can't support hardware.If we can find a method that makes use of their advantages and avoid their disadvantages,the problem would be solved.So this paper takes a design of 16 tap low-pass FIR filter as example to explain the method.Its feasibility and correctness are proved by both software simulation and hardware simulation.
