I have constructed a 4-Tap FIR Filter in System Generator.
My issue is: I clock my data through the Filter at 32 MHz, but I would like to clock the Multipliers at a faster rate (at least 100 MHz). The reason is: The Multipliers Blocks have a 3-cycle latency because they are pipelined. The Filtered data is later processed with logic clocked at 250 MHz and used for signal detection. This 3-cycle delay is holding me back because 3 cycles at 32 MHz equals 24 cycles at 250 MHz.
My question is: Is there any simple solution for getting the multipliers to give their result as fast as possible? Is there any way to non-pipeline the multipliers? Is that even recommended?
